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.

Ground-Breaking for Westar's 100-MW Wind Farm in Kansas
LCG, June 25, 2008--Westar Energy Inc. and BP Alternative Energy North America Inc. held the ground breaking ceremony yesterday for the Flat Ridge Wind Farm site in Nashville, Kansas. The project is scheduled to be connected to the grid and produce power by the end of 2008.
The Flat Ridge Wind Farm will include 40 Clipper 2.5 MW C-96 wind turbine generators that are to be delivered next month. BP developed the project on the 5,000 acre site, which is located approximately 60 miles southwest of Wichita. Westar will own half of the wind project and buy energy from the other half under a power purchase agreement (PPA).
Westar has two similar wind projects planned: Meridian Way Wind Farm in Cloud County and Central Plains Wind Farm in Wichita County. The combined electric generating capacity of the three plants is 300 MW.
