We’re focused on Gen-IV High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGR) as the technology of choice, with advantages in sustainability, economics, reliability and safety. Our design hits a sweet spot in balancing size, cost & build time. Xe-100 is a 80 MWe reactor that can be scaled into a ‘four-pack’ 320 MWe power plant—with our modular design, the scale can grow even larger as needed. As a leading entry in a class of small modular reactors (SMRs) our design brings nuclear power within reach for countries, utilities & communities. Our elegant and simple design maximizes the use of off-the-shelf components manufactured and shipped to site using existing road & rail. X-energy’s reactor designs are based on HTGR technology — a Generation-IV reactor technology with a proven operational pedigree. Benefits: - 220,000 Graphite Pebbles with TRISO Particle fuel - High temperature tolerant graphite core structure - ASME compliant reactor vessel, core barrel & steam generator - Designed for a 60-year operational life - Flexible application – electricity and/or process heat - Base load or load following - Online refueling (95% plant availability) - High burn-up fuel cycle (160 GWd/tHM) |
