Kansas Town Divided Over Underground Nuclear Reactor Project
A pilot project to install an underground nuclear reactor in Parsons, Kansas, has sparked division among local residents. The project, led by California-based startup Deep Fission, aims to bury a nuclear reactor one mile underground to generate electricity. While some residents see the project as an economic opportunity, others express concerns about environmental impacts and safety. The reactor, part of a Department of Energy pilot program, is designed to test small, advanced reactors for commercial use, with the potential to significantly increase nuclear power generation in the U.S.
