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 extraction of 65Zn from falling liquid-metal drops of pure zinc and dilute zinc in lead alloys by fused-salt solutions of lead chloride and zinc chloride in the potassium chloride-lithium chloride eutectic has been investigated. Both chemical and isotopic exchange processes were found to be controlled by external mass transfer in the salt phase. The measured external resistances were comparable to those predicted by models based upon a rigid drop. Extraction in the pure zinc metal-lead chloride system appeared to proceed by a mechanism involving subchlorides as intermediates in the interfacial reaction.
