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.

An analysis is made in order to estimate how much heat may be removed from a fuel element subassembly in air. The two following cases are considered: 1. The reactor core as a whole is exposed to the atmosphere while the individual subassemblies remain in place. 2. The subassembly in question has been removed from the core and is individually exposed to the atmosphere.
