Xe-100
A small modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor developed by X-energy, with a design electrical output of approximately 80 megawatts per unit. It uses a pebble-bed core and a helium turbine cycle and belongs to the Generation IV nuclear reactor technology pathway.
Timeline (last 90 days)
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.
