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.

To develop the membrane pumping technology by means of superpermeable membranes at RFNC-VNIIEF in the "Prometheus" setup, the experiments on superpermeation of hydrogen isotopes through metal membranes were carried out.The experimental results on superpermeation of thermal atoms of hydrogen isotopes including tritium through a cylindrical vanadium membrane are presented. The possibility of effective pumping, compression and recuperation of hydrogen isotopes by means of superpermeable membrane was demonstrated. The evaluation of membrane pumping rates and asymmetry degree of pure vanadium membrane was given.The work was performed under the ISTC-2854 project.
