Deep Isolation Nuclear (DBHL) published a customer case study on its work supporting Slovenia's Agency for Radioactive Waste Management. The assessment compared integrating spent nuclear fuel from Slovenia's TRIGA II research reactor into a proposed deep borehole repository for the Krško Nuclear Power Plant with developing a standalone facility.
The analysis found that adding the smaller inventory could potentially increase total repository lifecycle costs by less than approximately 0.5%. The case study concerns disposal planning and potential shared-infrastructure benefits, rather than a completed repository.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (DBHL) will present at three investor conferences from October 8 through October 15, 2026.
CEO Rod Baltzer and CFO Joe Nelson will participate in OTC Markets’ Small Cap Growth Virtual Conference on October 8 at 11:30 am ET and Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Virtual Conference on October 14 at 3:30 pm ET. They will also present in person at the ThinkEquity Conference in New York on October 15.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (DBHL) has received a Texas Railroad Commission drilling permit for its non-radioactive Commercialization Pilot near Cameron, Texas. The authorization allows the project to move from engineering and design toward construction and field activities.
The team plans to advance site and construction activities before drilling and subsurface testing. The pilot is designed to demonstrate the company's deep borehole disposal technology at full scale and at depth using non-radioactive materials. Deep Isolation aims to generate field data and operational experience to support future commercial deployment.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (DBHL) reported results from a three-year, U.S. Department of Energy-funded ARPA-E CURIE project showing that deep borehole disposal could provide a safe, low-cost permanent disposal option for waste from recycled nuclear fuel.
All disposal scenarios analyzed were projected to cost less than the program’s target of 0.1 cent per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated. Long-term safety analyses under expected conditions indicated that projected public radiation doses in most scenarios were orders of magnitude below the 10 millirem-per-year regulatory benchmark used. Working with Argonne National Laboratory, Oklo and Case Western Reserve University, Deep Isolation evaluated packaging waste in its Universal Canister System and disposing of it in horizontal and vertical deep boreholes, supporting a more integrated future nuclear fuel cycle and potential Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (OTCQB: DBHL) released results of an April 2026 nationally representative YouGov survey of 1,000 U.S. adults on nuclear waste and energy. 81% of respondents said finding a permanent solution for high-level radioactive waste disposal should be a national priority, while only 28% supported decades-long storage of used nuclear fuel at reactor sites.
The survey found 61% support continued nuclear power use in the U.S., 74% favor underground disposal that minimizes long-distance waste transport, and, after reviewing information, 65% supported deep borehole disposal. 69% were concerned the U.S. still lacks a permanent waste solution. Trust levels showed 68% trust scientists and engineers to help government select waste management solutions, versus 37% who trust government alone on nuclear policy decisions.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (OTCQB: DBHL) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $1.3 million, down about 19% year over year, and a net loss of $3.0 million, versus a $1.4 million loss in Q2 2025. Research and development expense was $1.2 million, largely for its non‑radioactive, full‑scale deep borehole demonstration, while selling, general and administrative expense rose to $2.7 million. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were $(3.2) million and $(1.9) million, respectively. Cash totaled $19.4 million as of June 30, 2026, with 57.7 million common shares outstanding as of August 3, 2026.
The company surpassed 100 issued patents, established a permanent field presence at the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center in Texas, had its Form S‑1 declared effective, and, after quarter‑end, began OTCQB trading under DBHL and was selected as sole industrial partner on three DOE Project GENESIS grants.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (OTCQB: DBHL) welcomed the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus initiative, announced on July 28, 2026, which aims to modernize the nuclear fuel cycle, strengthen U.S. energy security and support advanced nuclear development.
The initiative will create voluntary State-Federal partnerships for potential regional campuses spanning the full nuclear fuel lifecycle, including ultimate disposal of used nuclear fuel. Deep Isolation said it is ready to support DOE, states, communities and industry by offering its patented deep borehole disposal technology, described as modular, scalable and adaptable to many geologic settings, and applicable to used fuel from existing and advanced reactors as well as post-recycling residues. The company also highlighted its technical, regulatory and stakeholder engagement capabilities to help states integrate long-term waste management into early campus planning.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (OTCQB: DBHL) announced it will release its second quarter 2026 earnings before the U.S. market opens on Thursday, August 6, 2026. An updated investor presentation will be made available on the company’s investor relations website at the same time as the earnings release.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (OTCQB: DBHL) has been selected as the sole industrial partner on three U.S. Department of Energy Project GENESIS grants led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of South Carolina. The initiatives focus on applying artificial intelligence to repository site screening, design, and performance analysis for nuclear waste disposal.
Deep Isolation will provide deep borehole data, repository engineering expertise, Universal Canister System design input, and fatal flaw screening criteria. The projects aim to create integrated AI-enabled workflows, including GeoTrace, an AI platform using digital twins and GIS data, and USC’s AI-STRATA3D subsurface modeling framework.
Deep Isolation Nuclear (OTCQB: DBHL) released a shareholder letter from CEO Rod Baltzer marking the company’s first quotation on the OTCQB Venture Market and highlighting a transition from R&D toward commercial readiness in nuclear waste disposal.
According to the company, its Universal Canister System (UCS) has been advanced with over $7 million in U.S. and UK government grant funding and is now protected by more than 100 patents/b. Deep Isolation reported completing an oversubscribed private offering and a transaction to become a publicly reporting company. The company launched a full-scale, at-depth, non-radioactive demonstration borehole repository in Cameron, Texas in January 2026, targeting first emplacement of full-size UCS canisters at kilometer-plus depth in the second quarter of 2027. Deep Isolation is also advancing contracting for up to $20 million in ARPA-E SCALEUP Ready funding to support this demonstration.
