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.

Illinois-Wisconsin Gas Pipeline Gets FERC Okay
LCG, March 15, 2001--CMS Energy Corp. said yesterday that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has given its final authorization for Guardian Pipeline to build and operate a new interstate natural gas pipeline to serve growing demand in Wisconsin and northern Illinois.Guardian Pipeline is a partnership of CMS, Wisconsin Energy Corp. and Viking Gas Transmission Co. The project will consist of about 141 miles of 36 inch pipe extending from Joliet, Ill. to the Ixonia, Wisc. area, with an additional 8.5 miles of 16 inch lateral pipe extending from the main Guardian line to a point near Eagle, Wisc.Dick Osborne, vice president of pipelines at Wisconsin Energy, said, "The final order by FERC is a solid reflection of the need Wisconsin has to add pipeline competition in this area. Our many supporters throughout the state will now begin to see the benefits of true competition."CMS said land acquisition work in support of the pipeline is currently underway in Wisconsin andnorthern Illinois. Contracts have been awarded for fabrication of steel pipe for the pipeline, and formanufacture of the gas compressors which will provide compression on Guardian. Construction isexpected to begin in spring of 2002, with completion and operation of the pipeline expected byNovember 2002.According to CMS Energy, Guardian Pipeline currently has firm precedent agreements with Wisconsin Gas and others to transport 662 million cubic feet of gas per day, or 88 percent of design capacity, when the pipeline goes into service in November 2002.
