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.

Fully 3-dimensional model for Monte-Carlo simulation code (DEGAS) was newly applied in the GAMMA 10 central cell. Based on the measurement and DEGAS simulation, neutral transport during the gas puffing and neutral beam injection (NBI) in the central cell is investigated. The predicted H profile using DEGAS well explained the experimental result. It is clarified that the localized neutral source has much influence on the behavior of neutral particles in the plasma. In this paper, detailed discussion is shown from the view point of both the experiment and the simulation.
