Work advances on X-energy’s TRISO fuel fabrication facility
Small modular reactor developer X-energy, together with its fuel-developing subsidiary TRISO-X, has selected Clark Construction Group to finish the building construction phase of its advanced nuclear fuel fabrication facility, known as TX-1, in Oak Ridge, Tenn. It will be the first of two Oak Ridge facilities built to manufacture the company’s TRISO fuel for use in its Xe-100 SMR. The initial deployment of the Xe-100 will be at Dow Chemical Company’s UCC Seadrift Operations manufacturing site on Texas’s Gulf Coast.

The prompt neutron decay constant of the NORA reactor for a number of subcritical states has been determined by means of count-interval distribution measurements. The theoretical model agrees well with the experimental results. The technique has been compared with the Feynman and Mogilner methods. With the count-interval distribution technique, a better accuracy of the results has been achieved in a shorter time of measurement, as expected from the theory.
