US-based X-energy has reached an agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the institute’s nuclear reactor laboratory to use its research reactor to irradiate X-energy’s Triso-X fuel.
The irradiation process will provide data in support of licensing X-energy's Xe-100 and other Triso-based reactors. Triso, a shortened form of the term tristructural-isotropic, refers to a specific design of uranium nuclear reactor fuel.
