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.

Natural dysprosium was irradiated by 3 × 1021 n/cm2, more than twice that previously reported. The cross section relative to the initial value dropped to 35% for 1 × 1021 n/cm2, then varied more slowly to about 25% at the maximum exposure. Good agreement was obtained between theoretical calculations and experimental results, including the isotopic distribution in the irradiated samples. Thermal cross sections and infinitely dilute resonance-absorption integrals of five major isotopes and the natural element were measured and used in the above calculations. These values are tabulated below; Of note is significant resonance integral for 160Dy for which no parameters have been reported.
