Here is a recap of recent industry happenings:
New international partnership to speed Xe-100 SMR deployment
X-energy, Amazon, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, and Doosan Enerbility have formed a strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment of X-energy’s Xe-100 small modular reactors and TRISO fuel in the United States to meet the power demands from data centers and AI. The partners will collaborate in reactor engineering design, supply-chain development, construction planning, investment strategies, long-term operations, and global opportunities for joint AI-nuclear deployment. The companies also plan to jointly mobilize as much as $50 billion in public and private investment to support advanced nuclear energy in the U.S.

The variation of the postirradiation creep-rupture properties with irradiation temperature has been evaluated for air- and vacuum-melted Hastelloy-N. The air-melted material was high in silicon and formed a stable carbide of the M6C type. The properties of this material were not dependent upon the irradiation temperature over the range studied. The vacuum-melted alloys formed a M2C-type carbide whose size and morphology depended markedly upon the irradiation temperature. When the carbides were finely dispersed by irradiation at about 650°C, the postirradiation properties were equivalent to those of the air-melted material. Irradiation at about 760°C resulted in coarser dispersions of the M2C carbide and inferior postirradiation properties.
