X-energy is a nuclear energy company focused on delivering carbon-free power through an integrated approach of reactor design and fuel production. It manufactures fuel that encapsulates uranium in a protective coating to enhance safety by limiting meltdowns and containing waste, and it designs reactors intended to use that fuel efficiently to provide reliable baseload power. The overarching objective is to provide reliable, carbon-free baseload power. Based in Rockville, Maryland, the company operates in the advanced nuclear sector, pursuing reactor concepts in the small modular reactor and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor space. Recent developments include advancing regulatory milestones and international design work: the NRC issued a Part 70 license enabling commercial manufacturing of TRISO-X fuel, and X-energy has submitted an application to Britain's Generic Design Assessment for its Xe-100 HTGR. Its market focus includes utilities and industrial applications such as hydrogen production, chemicals, and data centers.
