Overview
Advanced nuclear company developing the Xe-100, a pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR).
Technology
- Xe-100 Design: 200 MWt / ~80 MWe per unit
- Heat Transfer: Pressurized helium as primary coolant
- Key Feature: "Helium remains chemically inert and single-phase at operating temperatures, enabling efficient heat transfer without phase change or material degradation"
- Architecture: Hot helium exits reactor, transfers heat through steam generator into separate water loop
- Thermal Approach: No molten salt in primary or secondary circuits; entirely gas-cooled design with no CSP technology overlap
Timeline
- 2026 — Xe-100 design specifications publicly documented
