X-Energy has joined Project Prometheus as a Tier 1 partner, a three-year research initiative led by Idaho National Laboratory alongside Nvidia and Amazon Web Services to apply artificial intelligence to the deployment of advanced nuclear energy. Backed by a
$60 million U.S. Department of Energy award under the Genesis Mission program, the project brings together 32 national labs, universities, and private-sector technology developers to accelerate reactor licensing, construction, and operational efficiency.
As a Tier 1 partner, X-Energy will contribute
$10 million in private funding, serve on the project’s governing board, and provide proprietary reactor and fuel-manufacturing data from its Xe-100 small modular reactor and TRISO-X fuel technology. Researchers will use DOE supercomputing resources and test reactors to integrate AI into reactor design, licensing, manufacturing, construction, and fuel production workflows.
