NRC clears X-energy and Dow to build four reactors in Texas

Cost, schedule and offtake terms were not disclosed.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Monday approved a joint application by X-energy and Michigan-based Dow Chemical to build four Xe-100 advanced nuclear reactors at a Dow-owned industrial site in Texas, Canary Media reported.

Cost, schedule and offtake terms were not disclosed.

For allocators, the approval moves the Texas project from licensing into construction. X-energy is also exploring a 960-MW project in Indiana with AEP and Amazon, as Private Infrastructure Daily previously reported.
