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.

Fossil research would be cut by 16 percent, or $93 million, leaving $494.2 million intact. Spending on renewable energy and energy efficiency would increase by 1 percent, to $1.312 billion.New tax incentives as well as the continuation of current credits would provide $9.5 billion over ten years for the development of energy-saving technologies. One of the largest such credits is for wind and biomass power sources, at $1.9 billion. Other energy credits include $1.1 billion for energy produced from landfill gas, and $1.2 billion for investments in combined heat and power (CHP) systems.Nuclear security program funding would be increased by 5.7 percent, or $433.2 million, for a total of $8.04 billion. The budget will be subject to Congressional approval, and would take effect Oct. 1, 2002.
