To address the need for ground, sea and air transportable small power production, X-energy has developed nuclear reactor concepts with potential civilian government, remote community and critical infrastructure applications.
The ultimate prepper power supply! Runs 2-7 MWe for three years.
Anybody have an idea of the cost? I can’t find anything.
There’s some serious money investing in this one, though.
RICHLAND, Washington and ROCKVILLE, Maryland – July 19, 2023 – Energy Northwest, a premier provider of carbon-free electricity, and X-Energy Reactor Company, LLC (“X-energy”), a leading developer of advanced small modular nuclear reactors and fuel technology for clean energy generation, today announced the signing of a joint development agreement (“JDA”) for up to 12 Xe-100 advanced small modular reactors in central Washington capable of generating up to a total of 960 megawatts of carbon-free electricity. Energy Northwest expects to bring the first Xe-100 module online by 2030.
Okay. The invest may be given, but with that timeline there is nothing to be excited about. Its most likely that they will be bankrupt by that time as they do not get their permissions.
If I remember correctly nobody wanted to build B. Gates reactor idea in the states, so he went to China. It was then scrubbed by Trump because of… well China.
