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.

Hydrogen-Fueled Generator To Go Into Production This Year
LCG, Aug. 9, 2002--A generator which runs on hydrogen and has been developed by Ballard Power Systems Inc. and Ford Motor Co. will be made available in the fourth quarter, Ballard announced Wednesday.According to Ballard officials making the announcement at a Dearborn, Mich., company site, the generator will not release carbon dioxide, and will produce very low levels of nitrogen oxide. It utilizes a Ford 6.8 liter V10 truck engine.The generator "will increase public awareness of alternative fuels and power solutions and assist in the development of hydrogen infrastructure," said Ross Witschonke, who leads Ballard's electric drives and power conversion group. The company foresees that the early adopters of the technology will be public utilities needing to meet peak demand.General Motors Corp. plans to sell stationary fuel cells to businesses requiring extremely high reliability in power supplies in 2004. The fuel cells are to be used as a source of backup generation.
