The U.S. Congress and the Administration continue to demonstrate their leadership in recognizing that advanced nuclear energy is an important carbon-free base-load power source that will allow the US and the world to achieve global carbon reductions by 2050.

The first advanced nuclear power plants are just years away from construction. With the right federal support, the United States can turn demonstration projects into a full-scale industry and tens of thousands of high-wage, high-skill, union jobs.

Many many thanks to A.J. (left) and Tanner (right) of UA 598 Journeyman Steamfitters for these incredible replicas of our Xe-100 reactors! The detail, the craftsmanship, the pride in everything that you did couldn't be any more inspiring!

X-energy, Energy Northwest, and Grant County Public Utility District recently established a mutual partnership, called the TRi Energy Partnership, to support the development and commercial demonstration of X-energy’s advanced nuclear reactor, the Xe-100. ClearPath Executive Director Rich Powell moderated a panel with the three companies to discuss the design and their role in the ARDP.

On March 25, 2021, the US Senate held an important dialog with nuclear industry leaders. The purpose of the hearing is to examine the latest developments in the nuclear energy sector with a focus on ways to maintain and expand the use of nuclear energy in the United States and abroad.

On May 14, 2020, the DOE announced its Advanced Demonstration Reactor Program to support the development of advanced nuclear technologies in the United States. The DOE will disperse $230 million in initial funding and expects to release billions of dollars in awards over the lifetime of the program.
