X-energy and Amazon Cascade facility
A planned small modular reactor plant near Richland, Washington, using X-energy Xe-100 reactors, developed by Energy Northwest with Amazon as funder and power purchaser.
- Type
- Programme
- Where it sits
- It is a reported pairing of an operator-utility, a reactor vendor and a hyperscaler, still at planning and design stage.
- Constraint
- Energy Northwest was reported to expect to submit an NRC construction permit application after the feasibility phase, so licensing is not yet complete (World Nuclear News).
What we checked
- The initial phase is reported as four of twelve planned Xe-100 units, with operations targeted for the 2030s. (source)
- X-energy describes the Xe-100 as a commercial-scale advanced small modular reactor. (source)
