NRC grants license for TRISO-X fuel manufacturing using HALEU
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted X-energy subsidiary TRISO-X a special nuclear material license for high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel fabrication. The license applies to TRISO-X’s first two planned commercial facilities, known as TX-1 and TX-2, for an initial 40-year period. The facilities are set to be the first new nuclear fuel fabrication plants licensed by the NRC in more than 50 years.

The Joint European Torus (JET) Team has studied experimentally the use of beryllium as a material for walls and limiters. The experiments compare the plasma performance of evaporated beryllium layers and massive beryllium limiters with that of graphite. The use of beryllium is generally beneficial, and fusion rates >8 × 1020 m−3-keV·s are reached. The results of the beryllium operation are summarized.
