Centrus, X-energy sign enrichment contract as TRISO-X expands TX-1 campus
Centrus Energy Corp. will be providing X-energy with enrichment services for low-enriched uranium and high-assay, low-enriched uranium to support X-energy’s planned deployments of Xe-100 small modular reactors and TRISO-X fuel, according to the terms of a new contract signed by the companies. The fuel will be produced at Centrus’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio. In turn, X-energy will provide Centrus with prepayments to help support expanding the capacity of Centrus’s domestic commercial enrichment program.

In order to elucidate the dissolution/deposition behavior of corrosion products in supercritical-water-cooled reactor (SCWR) coolant, chemical thermodynamics calculation was carried out, taking into account the electrochemical properties of supercritical water. The review of thermodynamics models revealed the applicability of the modified HKF model for ionic species in the supercritical region. Using the calculation results, potential-pH diagrams were drawn for metal/water systems, which exhibited the effect of temperature and pressure on the stability of oxide in the SCWR core region.
