NRC grants license for TRISO-X fuel manufacturing using HALEU
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted X-energy subsidiary TRISO-X a special nuclear material license for high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel fabrication. The license applies to TRISO-X’s first two planned commercial facilities, known as TX-1 and TX-2, for an initial 40-year period. The facilities are set to be the first new nuclear fuel fabrication plants licensed by the NRC in more than 50 years.

A crucial problem of any steady-state fusion reactor is removal of the plasma exhaust. In this addendum to the paper “About a New Fusion Reactor Scheme” [Fusion Sci. Technol., Vol. 75, p. 197 (2019)], we analyze the possibility of achieving this goal in the fusion reactor scheme by using a model C stellarator type of divertor.
