Amazon provides update on its Washington project with X-energy
A year ago this month, Amazon led a $500 million investment in X-energy, alongside Citadel founder Ken Griffin, the University of Michigan, and other investors. In addition to that financing, Amazon pledged to support the development of an initial four-unit, 320-MW project with Energy Northwest in Washington state.

Validation of thermal-hydraulic codes for system design and safety analysis is dependent on applicable and appropriately scaled experimental data. There are several scaling methodologies for justifying the use of data from small-scale facilities for simulation of large-scale reactor systems. These methods continue to be improved and extended to new situations. This panel will discuss the "art of scaling" and progress in development of scaling methods.
