NRC grants permit to build the first four commercial X-energy reactors in Texas
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a permit to build four Xe-100 small modular reactors by X-energy at Dow's chemical plant in Texas. This is the first approval of an advanced reactor at an industrial site in the US, but operation is not expected until the early 2030s, and critics questioned the speed of the permitting.
