X-energy

Gallup's latest data shows 61% of Americans now support nuclear energy—just one point below the record set in 2010. Why the shift? Big tech is leaning in. Companies like Amazon are turning to nuclear to meet the energy demands of AI and data centers, proving that clean, reliable baseload power is no longer optional—it’s essential. https://lnkd.in/edf_4NPS

Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that TRISO-X, a wholly owned subsidiary of X-energy, has been allocated its first tranche of HALEU to meet near-term fuel needs to bring our advanced reactor technology to the market.   The allocation is part of X-energy’s participation in DOE’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, and will be delivered in the first core loads of fuel in partnership with Dow Inc. at their UCC Seadrift Operations manufacturing site on the Texas Gulf Coast. TRISO-X will receive the material for fuel fabrication in the future at its pioneering Oak Ridge, Tennessee, fuel fabrication plant. https://lnkd.in/egZ8FQfm

Edward Stones, Business Vice President of Energy and Climate at Dow, shares his thoughts on the latest collaboration with X-energy—the construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an exciting advanced nuclear project in Seadrift, Texas. "This is an important next step in expanding access to safe, clean, reliable, and cost-competitive nuclear energy in the U.S." The project will leverage X-energy’s Xe-100 SMR technology to provide clean power and steam to Dow’s Seadrift operations, replacing current energy sources. With the Seadrift site manufacturing over 4 billion pounds of materials annually — from food packaging to footwear — this initiative will help power critical operations. If all goes as planned, construction could begin later this decade, with the plant expected to start operations in the early 2030s.

Our announcement with Dow today is bringing a first-of-its kind project to life, and is a key step forward in commercializing advanced nuclear technologies to meet massive growth in power demand. “If built and operated as planned, it would be the first U.S. commercial advanced nuclear power plant for an industrial site, according to the NRC.” Read more from The Associated Press News about today’s announcement, and what it means for the nuclear industry more broadly:

Dow and X-energy have submitted a construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an advanced nuclear project in Seadrift, Texas. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, this project will leverage X-energy’s Xe-100 SMR technology to provide Dow’s manufacturing site with clean, reliable power — improving infrastructure and significantly reducing emissions. This is a major step in demonstrating how advanced nuclear can drive safe, reliable, and clean power. https://lnkd.in/ecMr3Am8 #AdvancedNuclear #Sustainability #Innovation
