Description
Description | X-Energy develops small modular nuclear reactors and advanced nuclear fuel. Its XE-100 reactor delivers 80 megawatts and can scale up to 960 megawatts when combined, using high-temperature gas-cooled technology and TRISO fuel. The reactors aim to serve sectors requiring high heat output, including chemical production, heavy industries, and data centers linked to artificial intelligence. The company has an order pipeline exceeding 11 gigawatts and has secured agreements with firms such as Amazon, Dow, and Centrica. Construction of the Oak Ridge fuel production facility began in 2025. In March 2025, X-Energy and Dow submitted a construction permit application for a project in Seadrift, Texas, with a review process expected to take about 18 months. |
