Deep Isolation Nuclear has appointed drilling veteran Jon Tedrick as Technology Demonstration Lead for the world’s first full-scale deep borehole disposal demonstration near Cameron, Texas. Tedrick has relocated to Texas to strengthen on-site coordination as the company advances its demonstration program at the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center. The project, which broke ground earlier this year, aims to validate deep borehole repository construction, full-scale canister emplacement and retrieval using the Universal Canister System, and simulated surface handling. It is supported by up to $20 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E SCALEUP Ready program and involves collaborators including Westinghouse, NAC International, Halliburton, Occlusion Nuclear Solutions, and Amentum. Tedrick brings more than 28 years of drilling and project management experience across mining, geothermal, environmental, and energy sectors.
