X-energy and Centrus Energy have signed a long-term agreement to supply High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) to support X-energy's advanced small modular reactor (SMR) projects, particularly the Xe-100 commercial pipeline. This agreement secures domestic enrichment and fuel fabrication capabilities essential for deploying new nuclear reactors efficiently across the U.S. and U.K.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can now plan with more certainty to develop or integrate HALEU-powered reactors as a stable domestic uranium source is secured. X-energy's deal opens direct fuel supply routes that cut traditional nuclear market entry barriers and supports timely reactor deployment.
