Mile-Deep Nuclear Reactor at Great Plains Industrial Park

under construction

Deep Fission plans to install the world's first mile-deep nuclear reactor underground at the Great Plains Industrial Park in southeast Kansas near Parsons. The project involves drilling a 30-inch wide, mile-deep borehole to place a small nuclear reactor that generates power for two to seven years. The reactor uses pressurized water technology and produces steam to turn turbines for electricity generation. The project aims to demonstrate new nuclear energy generation as part of a national pilot program, with a goal to be operational by July 4, 2026, followed by commercial operations.
