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 Large Helical Device (LHD) is a big non-tokamak type superconducting toroidal fusion facility. In both areas of the physics and technology, the LHD project is expected to contribute to the exploration of necessary understandings of the currentless steady-state plasmas, which have high performance of temperature, density, confinement time and beta value extrapolatable to the reactor regime. This paper describes the necessary issues of major operations scenario especially concerned with the divertor functions, which realize the steady-state experiment in LHD.
