[]
Energy-pedia regional news: Europe / Caspian / CIS
Centrica and X-Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of X-Energy Reactor Company, have announced their entry into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to deploy X-energy’s Xe-100 Advanced Modular Reactors ('AMR') in the United Kingdom.
J. Clay Sell, CEO of X-energy said: 'Our partnership with Centrica represents a commitment to bring X-energy's industry-leading advanced nuclear technology to the U.K. at scale.
In 2021 the U.K.’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) identified High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs) as the most promising advanced technology for demonstration.
Support for initial projects, and those that follow, will be decisive in unlocking the full potential of advanced nuclear for Britain’s energy future.
X-energy’s pioneering Xe-100 advanced small modular reactor and TRISO-X fuel are among the safest and most reliable clean energy technologies.
