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.

FPL Energy Plans Wind Project for North Dakota
LCG, January 18, 2008--The North Dakota Public Service Commission was notified earlier this week of FPL Energy's Barnes County wind farm project. The project will include 133 wind turbines and have an elecric generating capacity of approximately 200 MW.
FPL Energy stated to the Commission that it plans to file a formal permit application by February 5 with the Public Service Commission.
FPL Energy's project is one example of the surge in wind power in the United States. According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), the installed U.S. wind power capacity grew forty-five percent last year. In 2007, the industry installed 5,244 MW of new wind generation. U.S. wind power capacity now totals 16,818 MW, and AWEA estimates wind generation in 2008 will be 48,000 GWh.
