X-energy gets green light to build its first small modular nuclear reactors | TechCrunch
Nuclear startup X-energy announced Monday that it had been given the go-ahead from federal officials to build its first four commercial reactors.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the construction permit application for four of X-energy’s Xe-100 reactors at a Dow chemical plant in Texas. Each reactor will be capable of generating 80 megawatts of electricity and 200 megawatts of heat. X-energy says the approval is the first for an advanced nuclear reactor at an industrial site in the United States.
