- A pilot project to bury a nuclear reactor one mile underneath a town in Kansas has split the opinion of local residents, with some fearing the environmental impacts while others hope it will create economic opportunities.
- The so-called Gravity Reactor is being proposed by Deep Fissure, a California-based start-up from a father-daughter duo, Liz Muller and Richard Muller, emeritus professor of physics at University of California, and an inventor.
- It will be the first time a commercial nuclear reactor operates underground.
