LCG, November 6, 2025--X-energy Reactor Company, LLC, (X-energy) and the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy today announced the start of confirmatory irradiation testing at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to qualify X-energy’s proprietary TRISO-X fuel pebbles for commercial use in the Xe-100 Small Modular Reactor (SMR). (TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic). This is the first time that TRISO-X fuel pebbles will undergo irradiation testing in a U.S. lab, which is a critical step in meeting requirements set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the commercial deployment of advanced reactors that will use the fuel.

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Operators Shut Down Niagara Mohawk's Nine Mile Point 1
LCG, Oct. 3, 2000--Operators manually shut down the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 nuclear power plant at 6:25 a.m. yesterday after the unplanned opening of a reactor relief valve, Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. said.The opening of the relief valve lead to increased water levels in the plant's drywell, a structuresurrounding the reactor and designed to collect water discharged from the reactor. The increasedwater level in the drywell caused operators to declare, as required, an "Unusual Event" and notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.The report was filed at 7:12 a.m. and noted that the reactor was manually "scrammed" from an operating level of less that 1 percent of capacity. It was just beginning the restart process following a maintenance outage.Later yesterday, Niagara Mohawk reported that Nine Mile Point 1 was in cold shutdown mode and that the Unusual Event was terminated at 9:05 a.m.
