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.

Nuclear Plants To Be Online in China
LCG, Jan. 30, 2002--Three nuclear power plants now under construction in different parts of China are expected to be operating this year, according to a Chinese nuclear official.In the eastern province of Zhejian, testing has been taking place since last year at the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station. Operations on the second phase of the plant are to begin in June. The third phase should be brought online by the end of 2002.In Quangdong, the Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant will be that province's second largest commercial plant. The eastern Jiangsu province is home to the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, where major construction will take place.The projected capacity at all nuclear plants is estimated to be 6,600 megawatts by 2005. The demand for power in China's coastal regions has grown rapidly with the growth taking place in the past two decades. Nuclear power accounts for 1 percent of the national power supply, whereas in the United States and Japan, nuclear plants supply nearly 22 and over 33 percent respectively.
