    Deep Fission is a nuclear startup that = wants to bury small nuclear reactors underground. The depth will act as a s= ubstitute for the tons of concrete required to safeguard aboveground reacto= rs. The startup plans to lower its reactors on cables down a 30-inch, one-m= ile-deep borehole.

Deep Fission is targeting b= etween five to seven cents per kilowatt-hour, half of what new nuclear powe=
