Overview

Founded with the mission to revolutionize the energy sector through advanced nuclear technology.
Developers of the Xe-100, a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor designed for safety and efficiency.
Focus on small modular reactors (SMRs) to provide sustainable energy solutions globally.
Partners with leading utilities and organizations to design scalable, safe, and clean nuclear power plants.
Secured significant investments to expand operations and bring their reactors to market.
Driven by a commitment to meet global energy demands while minimizing environmental impact.
Notable for their innovative reactor designs, which offer unparalleled safety features.
Working to reshape the future of nuclear energy with cutting-edge technology and advanced engineering.

Culture + Values

50% Growth

Global Energy Growth

Global energy demand is expected to rise by 50% over the next 30 years, driven by population growth and economic development.

We’re empowering Solar, wind and hydro are parts of the solution. Nuclear is the only pure base‑load, load‑following, highly scalable, locatable anywhere, stand‑alone or complementary solution. It's an integral piece of the puzzle.
Zero Emissions: We believe in leaving a cleaner planet for our children and grandchildren, while continuing to provide sufficient and affordable power to sustain growing populations around the world.
Clean Water: X‑energy’s core competencies in HTGR design and high‑temperature fuel design/manufacture makes a unique and compelling combination to apply our skills to Nuclear Thermal Propulsion.
Space & Nuclear: The world is facing a pair of challenges … global energy demand is expected to rise by 50 % over the next 30 years. At the same time, we must significantly lower carbon emissions.
Our technology relies on physics, not mechanical systems.

Environment + Sustainability

80 MWe

Power Output

Each Xe-100 reactor unit delivers 80 megawatts of electricity.

$1.1B

Total Funding

Raised from private capital and government grants for reactor and fuel commercialization.

440,000 t CO₂e

Annual Emissions Reduction

Reduction target achieved through partnership with Dow at the Seadrift site.

2030

Decarbonization Timeline

Target year for full emissions replacement at the Seadrift site.

Building Generation IV Xe‑100 small modular reactors to enable carbon‑free baseload and load‑following power.
DOE Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program selected X-energy in 2020 to deliver a four-unit Xe‑100 plant in Washington state.
Working with Ontario Power Generation for industrial decarbonization via Xe‑100 deployment in Canada.
