X-energy forms partnership with Talen Energy to assess Xe-100 deployment
X-energy announced Thursday that it has signed a letter of intent with Talen Energy to assess the deployment of X-energy’s Xe-100 reactor in Pennsylvania and throughout the market area of the PJM Interconnection regional transmission organization. That area, where the companies intend to explore the deployment of at least three four-unit Xe-100 power plants, includes several states in the eastern United States, from New Jersey to Illinois.

Two types of measurements of flux fine structure were performed in simple, plate, fast reactor cells. In the first type, studies were made of the rate at which the fine structure approached equilibrium when test cells were placed in an equivalent homogeneous medium. It was shown that caution must be exercised in applying an infinite plane model to the calculation of heterogeneity effects in plate cells of finite dimensions. In the second type of measurement, detailed activation distributions were measured in a series of cells as a basis for the evaluation of cross sections and calculational models.
