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.

LADWP's Develops Plans for Wind Farm
LCG, Sept. 19, 2003--A wind farm proposed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power that would be made up of 80 1.5-megawatt turbines would be the largest such project of its kind to be owned by a municipal utility.The area over which the farm would be built covers 22,000 acres in Kern County, east of Los Angeles. Discussions have taken place with representatives from two nearby air bases concerning the height of any turbines that might be built. Edwards Air Force Base and the Naval Air Weapons Station, in China Lake, both have flight tests in Kern County and are engaged in some planning efforts with the county's planning department.The wind farm, which LADWP hopes to build by the spring of 2005, would be linked to the rest of the electric network by a 6-mile transmission line. The director of system planning and projects for LADWP, John Schumann, has responded to concerns expressed by a local Sierra Club chapter about the visual impact of such a wind farm by saying that the developer Wind Turbine Prometheus LLC selected the location. The environmental group would have preferred that modernization be undertaken at wind farms in nearby Tehachapi first.
