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.

ISO-New England Says Connecticut at Risk
LCG, Feb. 7, 2002--The chief operating officer of ISO-New England, Stephen G. Whitley, is concerned that transmission lines in Connecticut will make the state vulnerable to blackouts this summer.Whitley stated that significant conservation measures would be needed to head off "an imminent energy crisis," particularly in the southern part of the state, including Fairfield County. He noted that while demand for electricity has increased 25 percent in the past 10 years, "the cracks in the (transmission) system are beginning to show."He said that last summer, an undersea line from Long Island into Connecticut was used to import power when two in-state lines failed.Connecticut Light & Power is working on upgrades to the transmission system that are due to be completed in 2003, and which would transmit four to six times as much power as the current lines. The Office of the Consumer Counsel and Attorney General General Richard Blumenthal have suggested that Whitley's claims are overstated, with Assistant Consumer Counsel Eugene Koss alleging that the warning is a way to overcome opposition to CL&P's grid work. Blumenthal commented to the New Haven Register, "we've seen no data to support what they're saying."
