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.

Both magnetic flux surfaces and drift surfaces have been measured by electron beam mapping method in Heliotron DR and Compact Auburn Torsatron. Electron beams with the beam energy E ≤ 2 keV are launched parallel to toroidal magnetic fields of B = (0.03~ 0.05) T. Horizontal shifts of the drift surfaces are measured as a function of beam energy which show an agreement with a theoretical prediction. It has been also observed in both devices that drift surfaces near magnetic islands change their orbits at specific energies from elliptical shapes that encircle minor axis to island-like ones (“drift islands”).
