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 self sustaining toroidal Z pinch fusion reactor, based on dynamo action energized by fusion produced a particles, is investigated. A zero dimensional power balance equation indicates that a DT reactor of the toroidal current of 24 MA and the plasma radius of 1 m is achievable with realistic plasma parameters and engineering requirements. Studies on advanced DD cases are also done to indicate that a high beta operation is essential.
