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.

45-Megawatt Plant in Alberta Complete
LCG, Jan. 30, 2002--A gas-fired plant that will provide electricity to Alberta's Rainbow Lake and High Level region has been built in under six months.The Rainbow Lake plant, which is north of Grande Prairie, began as a project to double capacity at ATCO Power's Valleyview project. Instead, ATCO Power and Husky Energy, which operates a gas plant at Rainbow Lake, agreed on bringing the project to the site of an earlier, 45-megawatt cogeneration plant. That plant, which provides steam to the Husky Energy gas plant, started operations in 1999.ATCO Power's president Gary Bauer said of the decision to enhance reliability at the plant's final location, "we quickly adjusted these projects to meet the electricity needs of Albertans in a rapidly growing part of our province."
