NRC grants license for TRISO-X fuel manufacturing using HALEU
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted X-energy subsidiary TRISO-X a special nuclear material license for high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel fabrication. The license applies to TRISO-X’s first two planned commercial facilities, known as TX-1 and TX-2, for an initial 40-year period. The facilities are set to be the first new nuclear fuel fabrication plants licensed by the NRC in more than 50 years.

A RELAP5-3D Consortium has been formed, comprised of three key entities that have led the development of RELAP5 for decades, namely Idaho National Laboratory, Naval Nuclear Laboratories, and Information Systems Laboratories. By combining the resources of the three leading laboratories, many improvements can be made in the code, the teams, the collaboration, and the overall product. The consortium eliminates competition for new graduating scientist and engineers, combines and leverages the skills, experience, and talents of the three separate teams, creates new synergies, and develops new opportunities. Ultimately, this will extend the productive lifetime of RELAP5-3D to serve the nuclear industry.
