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.

A toroidal equilibrium of a poloidal divertor RFP is analyzed as a free boundary problem including an external coil current of a vertical field and a poloidal divertor. Effects of poloidal divertor upon equilibrium parameter of RFP and the proximity of plasma to the conducting shell are investigated and the poloidal divertor configuration is shown to decrease the proximity of plasma to the shell to the value, <rp/aw>≤ 0.75, and be high Θ RFP without additional plasma surface controls.
