X-energy
A United States advanced nuclear technology company focused on the development of small modular reactors (SMRs). It primarily pursues the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) technology pathway using TRISO-coated fuel particles.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Amazon reached a new agreement with nuclear technology company X-energy to build 12 small modular reactors (SMRs) at the site of a retired coal plant in Indiana, with a total installed capacity of nearly 1 gigawatt.
The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor technology route adopted by X-energy theoretically has inherent safety characteristics and is suitable for industrial energy supply and power generation scenarios.
X-energy's Xe-100 has a single-reactor design power of about 80 megawatts (electric) and uses a pebble-bed core and a helium turbine cycle, placing it among the fourth-generation reactor technology routes; there is currently no commercial precedent at the same scale anywhere in the world.
X-energy's Xe-100 first-of-a-kind demonstration project is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program.
X-energy focuses on the research and development of advanced small modular reactors (SMRs).
X-energy's main offering is the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) route, using tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) coated fuel particles, with inherent safety characteristics.
Amazon signed an agreement with X-energy and American Electric Power (AEP) to jointly fund the construction of a new nuclear energy facility in Indiana.
