X-energy forms partnership with Talen Energy to assess Xe-100 deployment
X-energy announced Thursday that it has signed a letter of intent with Talen Energy to assess the deployment of X-energy’s Xe-100 reactor in Pennsylvania and throughout the market area of the PJM Interconnection regional transmission organization. That area, where the companies intend to explore the deployment of at least three four-unit Xe-100 power plants, includes several states in the eastern United States, from New Jersey to Illinois.

The low-frequency stability of ion rings and previous experimental work on weak ion rings is briefly summarized. In anticipation of a new experimental thrust to create field reversed strong ion rings, numerical simulations have helped to outline the physics of ring formation by the injection of short pulse intense ion beams (~ 1 kA/cm2) into a gas filled magnetic cusp followed by solenoidal ramped magnetic field.
