X-energy raises $700M in latest funding round
Advanced reactor developer X-energy has announced that it has closed an oversubscribed Series D financing round of approximately $700 million. The funding proceeds are expected to be used to help continue the expansion of its supply chain and the commercial pipeline for its Xe-100 advanced small modular reactor and TRISO-X fuel, according the company.

The feasibility of using a fast pulse reactor as a neutron source in the production of time-resolved neutron radiographs has been demonstrated at the U.S. Army Pulse Radiation Facility. The radiographs were obtained using the transfer radiographic method. Pulses with a full width at half maximum of 50 µsec and 1.2 × 1017 fissions were utilized to obtain time-resolved radiographs of objects moving at speeds up to 76 m/sec. Investigation of double images, observed in radiographs of test objects moving within this speed range, suggests a method of producing “motion pictures” of these objects using one reactor pulse and a suitable stack of detection foils. Resolution of objects moving at speeds greater than 76 m/sec can be obtained by reducing source exposure time to a lower limit of 1 µsec through employment of electronic gating and image intensification techniques.
