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.

A RETRAN-02 analysis was performed for a loss-of-feedwater transient without scram for a Westinghouse four-loop plant with Series 51 steam generators. A goal of this study was to use the same plant parameters that were used by Westinghouse in a report issued in December 1979. The primary differences in results from the two studies can be attributed to differences in the two methodologies. Sensitivity of the primary pressure response to steam generator nodalization, turbine trip time, moderator reactivity feedback coefficients, and Doppler reactivity coefficients was also studied.
