X-energy's Small Modular Reactor and the Future of Nuclear Power

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a promising solution for clean, reliable baseload power amid rising electricity demand. We had the chance to speak with Ron Marinzel from X-energy on their XE-100 reactor, at Reuters Energy LIVE in Houston, TX. Key innovations include its passive safety design—relying solely on natural forces for shutdown—and TRISO fuel, featuring robust ceramic coatings that contain fission products and enable higher operating temperatures.
