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.

Total neutron cross sections for calcium and potassium have been measured using the transmission method. Monoenergetic neutrons were produced by the D(d,n)3He and T(d,n)4He reactions using the USANDL 750-keV Cockcroft-Walton accelerator. Measurements for each element were made at 7 neutron energies between 2.37 and 16 MeV. The measured total neutron cross sections range from 3.53 to 2.06 b for Ca and from 3.23 to 1.98 b for K.
