How does X-energy’s technology differ from conventional nuclear?

“X-energy’s Xe-100 is a high-temperature gas reactor that is designed to produce 565°C steam—enabling industrial applications like chemical manufacturing, refining, and hydrogen production that require temperatures beyond what light-water reactors (~300°C) can deliver. X-energy’s TRISO-X fuel is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, enabling passive safety at high operating temperatures.”
