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 design and implementation of a simulated void-reactivity feedback in an experimental thermal-hydraulic loop meant for boiling water reactor (BWR)-dynamics studies is described. The void fraction in the loop is measured in real time and used as an input to a simulation that calculates the effect of void-reactivity on the reactor power. The resulting signals are used to control the power supplies of the loop. Advantages of this hybrid system in the study of BWR dynamics is that the complicated transfer functions related to two-phase flow are realized physically, while the relatively simple transfer functions related to the neutronics are simulated.
