Advanced Reactor Development Program News Today

X-Energy Reactor Company and Paragon Energy Solutions have worked for two years to deliver, install and test the reactor protection system prototype, a key safety feature of X-energy’s Xe-100 advanced nuclear reactors.

X-energy has delivered the first of four sets of equipment for the prototype reactor protection system (RPS) for the Xe-100 small modular reactor. The equipment, developed by X-energy and Rock Creek Innovations, will enable field testing, validation and optimisation, with results built into the final Xe-100 RPS design.
