X-energy advances Xe-100 nuclear reactor at Dow’s Texas plant after NRC completes safety review
X-energy has completed a major regulatory review for its proposed four-reactor nuclear power project at Dow's Seadrift chemical manufacturing complex in Texas. The milestone advances the first planned commercial deployment of its Xe-100 technology, but construction authorisation, project financing and an early-2030s operating timetable remain important tests.
Is nuclear power’s next bottleneck shifting from reactors to uranium fuel?
Centrus Energy, Urenco, Westinghouse Electric Company and Orano are investing billions across enrichment, HALEU and fuel fabrication as nuclear growth exposes a less visible constraint. The next bottleneck may sit upstream of the reactor itself.
AEP and Amazon explore 960 MW Indiana nuclear project using X-energy reactors
American Electric Power's agreement with X-energy, supported by Amazon development funding, could create a 960 MW advanced nuclear facility at a former Indiana coal plant site, but regulatory approval, construction costs and commercial feasibility remain major hurdles.
