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.

GE Announces First European Order for 2.75-103 Wind Turbines
LCG, October 27, 2011--GE announced yesterday the first planned delivery in Europe of its new 2.75-MW wind turbines to the Little Raith Wind Farm project in Fife, Scotland, where construction began in August. GE expects to complete the wind turbine installation by 2012. GE will provide customer support to the owner, Kennedy Renewables, under a five-year, full service agreement.
The goal in Scotland is to produce 100 percent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2020.
A spokesperson for GE stated, "The deployment of GE's 2.75 megawatt wind turbine in Fife underscores GE's commitment to provide our customers with technological solutions that are well suited for the Scottish climate. Our 2.75-MW wind turbines delivers reliable electrical output that will provide Kennedy Renewables with a wind farm that will best meet their local energy and environmental requirements."
GE's 2.75-MW turbine rotor measures 103 meters. GE's 2.75-100 and 2.75-103 are three-blade, upwind, horizontal-axis wind turbines with 100-meter and 103-meter rotor diameters, respectively. The turbine rotor and nacelle are mounted on top of a tubular steel tower providing hub heights of 75 (50 Hz only), 85, and 98.3 meters.
