X-energy is a leading designer of advanced nuclear reactor technology (commonly referred to as small modular reactors, “SMRs”) and manufacturer of advanced nuclear fuels. We believe these scalable, power generation technologies help satisfy historically unprecedented electricity demand growth, driven by the development of AI and associated data center infrastructure. Total demand for new electricity generation is expected to increase globally from 2023 to 2030 and the challenges associated with meeting this demand have led policymakers and industry leaders to recognize nuclear energy as a key component to address this need. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Kamal “Kam” Ghaffarian to bring clean, safe, secure and affordable technology to market, X-energy is seeking to redefine the energy industry through its flagship product, the Xe-100, an advanced small modular High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (“HTGR”). The Xe-100 reactor is designed to generate 80 megawatts of electric power or 200 megawatts of thermal output (heat), or a combination thereof. This reactor technology builds on more than 50 years of research and development by the global nuclear industry and the operating experience of previous HTGRs including those at Peach Bottom in the U.S., and Dragon in the U.K. in the 1960s-1970s, and more recently with China’s ongoing deployments of HTGRs in the 21st century.
