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.

Gov. Pataki Suggests Bond Agency to Support Power Infrastructure
LCG, Sept. 17, 2003--New York Governor George Pataki has put forward a plan supported by the state Senate and opposed by the House that would assist private companies by issuing bonds for the purpose of supporting generation and transmission projects.Pataki, a Republican, said in a statement that "this common sense proposal will encourage improvements and investment in New York's energy infrastructure well into the future."Opposition to the bill in question is based on provisions that would streamline the process for public comment, according to Democrats in the House. The New York Public Interest Group said that under the bill, "the public's voice is needlessly silenced."According to Steve Mitnick, the chief executive officer of a company with plans to build lines that would carry power between upstate New York, New England, Canada and New York City, which has not had growth in generation commensurate with growth in demand, government funding will not be used. Conjunction L.L.C. hopes to complete the lines, with 2300 megawatts of capacity, by mid-2006, at a cost of $750 million. Mitnick said that the flows into New York City could account for one-quarter of the city's needs.
