GoKawiilNRC approves X-energy's first four Xe-100 reactors at Texas Dow plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission granted X-energy a construction permit for four Xe-100 small modular reactors to be built at a Dow chemical facility in Texas. Each unit would generate 80 megawatts of electricity and 200 megawatts of heat, with X-energy saying the plant won't be operational until the early 2030s. The company calls it the first such approval for an advanced reactor at a US industrial site.
