X-Energy’s CEO, J. Clay Sell, Discusses Smaller-Reactor Nuclear Power

This week, we speak with J. Clay Sell, CEO of X-energy, which
announced a $1.18 billion combination with Ares Acquisition
Corporation in December 2022.


Wind and solar have each seen big booms in adoption in the
21st century due to a mix of technology and incentives
aligning at the same time. Could it once again be nuclear
power’s turn?


Clay tells us how innovative smaller-reactor designs can carve
out a new place in the energy mix for utilities and industrial
clients alike. And, how X-energy’s focus on proprietary nuclear
fuel has brought a new business model to the space.
