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.

U.K. Opens Way for Large Increases in Windpower
LCG, July 24, 2003--An increase in offshore wind generation is being sought by the U.K. government, which announced that invitations will be made to bid on options to lease sites that could see the installation of 1,500 turbines over 100 meters in height.Previous proposals regarding electricity generation from wind had represented one-fourth as much capacity as the current one. The announcement by the trade and industry secretary indicated that construction could create 20,000 jobs related to construction and engineering, and that the plans would enable progress on reaching a 10 per cent minimum requirement for renewable power by 2010.Bidders for the sites, in three coastal areas up to 10 kilometers from shore, may include oil companies and power providers such as PowerGen, Innogy, Scottish and Southern & Scottish Power. While wind developers and Greenpeace, the environmental group, heralded the significant boost in support for wind technology, Vince Cable, a Liberal Democrat, noted that a variety of renewable technologies, including tidal and solar power, should be supported through regulatory means, and that a single source should not be the entire focus of such development.
