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.

How We Got the Way We Are Today
LCG, Dec. 21, 2000--Yep. This is EnergyOnline Daily News. We hadn't planned to spring the new look on you yesterday without warning, but the old system broke down and we had no choice.For the past couple of months, Webmaster Sidart Deb has been building the new site with which you are now afflicted. The old site, with its buttons and hopelessly long URLs for the individual pages, was as grey as a gloomy day and difficult to put together each day.It had been "state of the art" when we went on line a little more than five years ago, and it had stayed at that particular state through thick and thin. Yesterday, things got real thin.The @#$%&* thing wouldn't work at all, despite the best efforts of Webmeister Deb and his elves. The only thing to do was switch over to the new site now, instead of January 2.There are some new features you might like. The one we like is a Forum, where readers may exchange ideas and brickbats about the energy business and the government agencies that fiddle with it. We haven't figured out how to work it yet, but we are sure you will.If you have any problems with the new Website, let Mr. Deb hear about them. There must be a feedback button somewhere on the site.
