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.

Thermal-neutron doses can be simply and inexpensively measured over many orders of magnitude of integrated flux by a count of induced-fission-damage tracks in a solid with uranium impurities. Examples are given of the use of a single ordinary glass to measure neutron flux from 3 × 1014 to 4 × 1018nvt and of the use of glass to measure the spatial variation of neutron flux. Other materials, either glassy or crystalline, allow a wide range of fluxes to be measured.
