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.

Loss-cone boundaries have been directly measured using a newly developed diagnostic device in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10. Double loss boundaries clearly appeared in the velocity space of the end-loss ions in the experiment without plug ECRH, and upon turning on the ECRH, the double boundaries changed to a single loss boundary. From a microscopic viewpoint of the ion distribution function, it was verified that plug potential was created turning on ECRH without producing sloshing ions by neutral beam injection. Time evolution of plasma potentials is discussed.
