What is X-energy?

X-energy has developed intrinsically safe and more efficient reactors and proprietary fuel to delivery reliable, zero carbon, affordable energy to people around the world. The simplified, modular and high temperature gas reactor design expands applications and markets for deployment of nuclear technology.

What is X-energy & Cavendish Nuclear?

It aims to help industry reduce project risks so they are better positioned for future investment decisions. X-energy and Cavendish Nuclear are proposing to develop a multi-billion pound 12-reactor plant at Hartlepool, to be ready by the early 2030s.

What will X-energy do with the government's £34 million grant?

The Government’s award of £3.34 million will be matched by X-energy for a total programme of £6.68 million. The companies will use the funds to develop UK-specific deployment plans including an assessment of domestic manufacturing and supply chain opportunities, constructability, modularisation studies, and fuel management.

Are X-Energy and Cavendish ready to build a 12 reactor plant?

X-energy and Cavendish Nuclear are proposing to develop a multi-billion pound 12-reactor plant at Hartlepool, to be ready by the early 2030s. The companies plan to build a fleet of up to 40 of the advanced small modular Xe-100 reactors in the UK, creating thousands of high-quality jobs in construction and operations.
