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.

SaskPower Prepares for Wind Power Project
LCG, March 7, 2002A wind power project capable of generating 5.9 megawatts will be installed near Gull Lake, Saskatchewan, starting this summer, following SaskPower's selection of Vestas Canadian Wind Technology as turbine vendor and installer.The installation will consist of nine turbines, and is worth C$10.8 million ($6.8 million US). In addition to the Vestas project, a joint venture of Suncor and Enbridge of Alberta, SunBridge, will have its own 17-turbine installation operating near Gull Lake, by August. That installation will have a maximum output of 11 megawatts.The SaskPower project is being supported by the government's Crown Investments Corp., and is expected to operate on a cost-recovery basis over ten years. Its output will be priced at C$35 ($22 US) per megawatt-hour. The University of Regina has committed to purchases of 570 megawatt-hours of the project's output, for C$20,000 ($12,640 US).
