X-Energy Reactor Co., an advanced nuclear company backed by https://t.co/JHZxKhN4Fo Inc., received federal approval to make uranium fuel for advanced reactors, the first such new license in more than 50 years. https://t.co/HW2QQKJZZR
The energy landscape is evolving, and X-energy is at the forefront of this transformation. With the support of our investors, and deployment partners, we are accelerating the development of our small modular reactors to meet the needs of the clean energy transition. https://t.co/QU0cLBscCL

Today, X-energy CEO J. Clay Sell joined the
@NZNGlobal at @COP28_UAE in Dubai to discuss how our innovative TRISO-X fuel is critical to expanding the deployment of advanced nuclear around the world. TRISO particle fuel has been called “the most robust nuclear fuel on the planet” by @ENERGY because it can withstand very high temperatures without melting, which is key to its safety.

NASA astronaut demonstrating the Dzhanibekov effect. An astronaut noticed this physical behavior of a handle, that turned out to be the proof of a theorem: the tennis racket theorem (also dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect)
The Tennis Racket Theorem states that an object with three unique moments of inertia, rotation about the axis of intermediate moment of inertia is unstable, while rotation about the other two axis is stable.
The effect is named after the Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov who discovered this phenomenon while in space in 1985.
Continual innovation is the lifeblood of nuclear science. This is evident in the Xe-mobile---a ground, sea and air transportable power generation system that can be delivered to the point of electricity need and quickly begin generating power; no construction or site preparation is required. Utilizing our proprietary TRISO-X fuel that is designed not to melt, our mobile microreactor could address a range of power applications from remote communities or disaster relief to defense and military installations to off-grid small industrial sites.

@NuclearHazelnut X-energy and Dow are partnered to put an SMR High Temperature Gas Reactor at Dow’s plant at Seadrift, Texas. This will put Texas in a leadership position!
We can’t reach our nation’s climate goals without nuclear power. Dr. Huff is a breath of fresh air for @ENERGY. Her enthusiasm, knowledge & leadership is helping to push @GovNuclear’s efforts forward to bring new technologies like small modular reactors online within the decade.
LOOK👀: @ENERGY is supporting these U.S. advanced reactor designs to help mature and demonstrate these technologies.
