Rod Baltzer of Deep Isolation reveals how advanced directional drilling techniques—refined over decades by the oil & gas industry—offer a modular, cost-effective solution to safely bury spent nuclear fuel deep underground. This innovation could reshape spent fuel management and significantly improve the capital efficiency of nuclear waste disposal. Join host Brennan Moore as he and Rod also explore the financial and investment landscape shaping this vital aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6XKzcc_tIITZ_hoHU7cBvYK-JMDcSwTJ2Upndp50BBA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YWMw/NzYxZGFjYTBhM2Rk/YjM0NDQ2MjMwMDFl/ZDMwOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
