NuclearSAFE's public record traces the evolution of deep horizontal wellbore disposal from Dr. Henry Crichlow's foundational work through RUNS, his 2010 public e-book on safe deep disposal, later ultra-deep repository studies, SuperLAT® and today's broader nuclear back-end technology platform.
The publication history shows continuity rather than a newly created marketing concept: early horizontal-wellbore IP, the RUNS—Retrievable Underground Nuclear Storage presentation, later ultra-deep repository studies and the SuperLAT® platform.
EnerCan-West Conference—Energy for a Sustainable Future, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada · March 17, 2009.
Historical conference presentation by Dr. Henry Crichlow. The original proceedings/slides have not yet been recovered in a stable public online archive.The RUNS presentation is cited in the references of U.S. Patent 11,087,896, providing an independent public record of the 2009 presentation and its exact title, venue and date.
For NuclearSAFE, RUNS is an important bridge between the original 1997–2001 horizontal-wellbore patent work and the later SuperLAT® architecture.

Technical papers hosted on ResearchGate are identified as public technical documents or preprints rather than represented as peer-reviewed journal articles unless the publisher states otherwise.
An early public-facing book devoted to the technical and visual case for deep high-level nuclear-waste disposal. The 2010 edition describes an economically viable deep repository using contemporary oil-and-gas drilling technology for horizontal and lateral wellbores, specialized waste modules and the ability to retrieve emplaced modules for future processing.
Describes deep geologic disposal operations, specialized nuclear-waste capsules and emplacement into lateral wellbores drilled in selected deep formations.
Compares an ultra-deep geologic repository architecture with the Yucca Mountain approach and sets out the technical case for deeper wellbore-based disposal.
Develops the intact-SNF disposal concept around waste capsules, engineered barriers, lateral wellbores and retrievable emplacement in ultra-deep formations.
A comprehensive SuperLAT® paper connecting modern horizontal drilling, deep geology, waste capsules, retrieval and repository operations to the earlier Crichlow patent lineage.
Public-facing technical explanation of the SuperLAT® concept and its reliance on modern deep horizontal wellbore technology and retrievable waste capsules.
Introduces ultra-deep nuclear-waste repository systems to a general audience and connects the contemporary SuperLAT® concept with the earlier patent and Regina conference history.
A nuclear-industry article arguing that modern deep directional drilling offers an alternative repository architecture and explaining the engineering basis for much greater disposal depth.
Argues that terminology shapes public understanding of spent nuclear fuel and introduces the case for viewing recoverable spent-fuel value differently from conventional “waste” framing.
Develops the “High-Level Product” argument: spent nuclear fuel as a material with potential future energy value rather than only a disposal liability.
A policy and technology argument against reopening Yucca Mountain and for applying modern alternative disposal architectures to the U.S. nuclear-waste problem.
These Substack articles extend NuclearSAFE's public technical commentary on engineered repository closure and salt-based geologic disposal concepts. The Substack account URL contains a legacy spelling error—Crichloe rather than Crichlow. NuclearSAFE displays the author's name correctly while preserving the source URLs exactly so the articles open properly.
A NuclearSAFE technical commentary focused on engineered closure of deep geologic disposal pathways. The source link is preserved exactly as published by Substack.
A NuclearSAFE technical commentary addressing the SupraSalt concept and the role of salt behavior in long-term geologic isolation. The source link is preserved exactly as published by Substack.
The author is Dr. Henry B. Crichlow. The spelling henrycrichloe appears only in the Substack account address and must remain unchanged in those URLs.
Selected interviews and reporting in which NuclearSAFE personnel explain the waste problem, SuperLAT® and the role of technology in building a permanent nuclear back end.
Senior editor Darrell Proctor interviews Dr. Crichlow about SMR growth, spent-fuel management, deep horizontal disposal and lessons the nuclear industry can draw from oil-and-gas engineering.
Read the interview ↗Dr. Crichlow discusses how Gulf nuclear programs and future SMRs can address waste disposal alongside generation planning rather than leaving the back end for later.
Read the article ↗An interview with Dr. Crichlow centered on his patented deep-wellbore approach, the distinction between power generation and disposal, and the SuperLAT® concept.
Read the interview ↗Nigerian coverage of NuclearSAFE's SuperLAT® technology featuring Dr. Jimmy Etti-Williams and the relationship between nuclear power development and a credible waste-management pathway.
Read the coverage ↗Additional legacy clippings shown in NuclearSAFE's historical press materials—including a March 2025 Nuclear News item and Zawya/Middle East coverage—will be added after original source copies and authorship metadata are fully recovered and verified.
NuclearSAFE Technology LLC has entered into more than two dozen non-disclosure, confidentiality, memorandum-of-understanding and related engagement agreements over time with established organizations and specialists across deep drilling, oilfield services, subsurface technology, equipment, materials, testing, land services and other industrial capabilities relevant to technology development and field execution.
The agreement record demonstrates that NuclearSAFE has repeatedly engaged the industrial ecosystem needed to evaluate, test and ultimately execute deep-well and nuclear-back-end technologies.
The number shown describes the documented historical agreement record and does not imply that every agreement is currently active.Company names, agreement terms, technical scope, current status and executed documents are treated as confidential business information. They may be made available to qualified investor groups through controlled diligence and appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
Important: The existence of an NDA, MOU or other agreement should not be interpreted as a public endorsement of NuclearSAFE, a current commercial partnership, or a commitment to participate in a future project unless separately announced by the parties.
A publication archive is most useful when it also shows where the underlying work enters the broader technical literature. Selected later publications cite Crichlow's wellbore-disposal papers, patents and industry article.
These citations do not constitute endorsement of every NuclearSAFE claim; they document that the work has entered the technical reference chain used by other researchers studying borehole and radioactive-waste disposal.
NuclearSAFE will continue adding papers, conference presentations, interviews and externally published coverage as new work becomes public.
