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.

British Government Approves Huge Offshore Wind Project
LCG, June 19, 2014-The British Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)announced yesterday that it has approved the construction of the East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm. The project will be built off the coast of Suffolk and cover an area of approximately 300 square kilometers. The wind farm will include up to 325 turbines that will provide for an installed capacity of 1,200 MW. Construction is scheduled to commence in 2017, with electric generation to start by 2019.
The East Anglia ONE project is a joint venture between Scottish Power Renewables, a subsidiary of Spanish energy firm Iberdrola, and Sweden's state-owned utility Vattenfall.
The initial project plan is to install 240 wind turbines. The project also calls for up to three offshore collector stations, as well as up to two offshore converter stations and their foundations to collect the electricity from the turbines and transform it to a form suitable for transfer to shore. Up to four seabed export cables, each around 73 km in length, will transfer the electricity to shore. An onshore converter station adjacent to the existing substation at Bramford, Suffolk, will connect the offshore windfarm to the National Grid.
