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.

The adequacy of the Advanced Recycle Methodology Program for predicting isotopic ratios as a function of exposure is determined for a light water reactor of modern design. For the first time, the capabilities of a two-dimensional multigroup transport theory code have been applied to the calculation of isotopic parameters for a commercial U.S. pressurized water reactor. The calculated results are found to be in satisfactory agreement with benchmark measurements. However, captures in seem to be underpredicted when ENDF/B-IV (or ENDF/B-III) resonance parameters for the 1.056-eV resonance are used in the calculations.
