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 total neutron cross section of 232U has been measured from 0.01 to 10 000 eV using the Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) fast chopper. A 2200 m/sec total neutron cross section of 163 ± 10 b was determined. Multilevel parameters are listed for resonances below 30 eV. Results of the analysis indicate that two fission channels are needed to describe the experimental data.
