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.

Contract Signed for Hydro-Quebec Hydropower Equipment
LCG, Apr. 2, 2003--A subsidiary of Hydro-Quebec, the Societe d'energie de la Baie James, signed a contract in March with ALSTOM for the engineering, delivery and installation of three hydropower turbine-generator sets at the Eastmain-1 hydropower plant.Each of the turbine-generator sets will have a capacity of 160 megawatts, and will be built within the Baie-James (James Bay) Hydroelectric Development program. The Eastmain-1 project resulted from negotiations between Quebec's government and the Grand Council of the Crees, which included guarantees of job creation and business development. Another proposed power project, called Nottaway-Braodback-Rupert, was to be cancelled in the event that partial diversion of the Rupert River went forward. At least nine agreements and accords covering hydropower development were signed, marking greater cooperation between the Crees and the provincial government.The turbines will be manufactured beginning in 2004, with all three turbine-generator sets to be commissioned by December 2006.
