Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) congratulates X-Energy Reactor Company, LLC (X-energy) on its collaboration with Amazon to generate and deliver more than 5 gigawatts of new power projects across the U.S. by 2039, representing the largest commercial deployment target of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to date. The partnership will support future carbon-free projects that will use X-energy’s Xe-100 advanced SMRs as well as long-term power purchase agreements to power Amazon operations, including energy-intensive data centers.

Through its collaboration with Amazon, X-energy plans to build one of North America’s first grid-scale advanced nuclear reactors with Energy Northwest in Washington state, initially supporting one four-unit 320-megawatt (MW) high-temperature gas reactor plant with the option to increase that project to 12 units and 960 MW.

In September 2022, Curtiss-Wright and X-energy signed a preferred strategic supplier agreement to advance the design and deployment of X-energy’s advanced reactor, which is expected to provide the capability to both generate electricity or provide process heat for industrial applications. Under the terms of that agreement, Curtiss-Wright was selected to design and develop three of the most critical systems for the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) on the Xe-100 reactor, including the Helium Circulator System, Fuel Handling System and the Reactivity Control and Safe Shutdown System.

“On behalf of Curtiss-Wright and our entire commercial nuclear team, I would like to congratulate X-energy on solidifying this relationship to meet the growing power needs of Amazon’s data centers. We remain excited and aligned with the X-energy team as they continue to advance their next-generation reactor design and expand the breadth of customer applications,” said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.

“Curtiss-Wright continues to build on its heritage as one of the leading global suppliers of nuclear reactor technologies, and we remain committed to delivering innovative, safety-critical solutions to our customers and the nuclear industry. We remain in a unique position to support X-energy and other advanced SMR developers in their efforts to provide carbon-free energy supporting both electricity and process heat applications.”

X-energy's Xe-100 is a Generation IV, High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor optimized to deliver 320 MW of electric output. The reactor can provide clean, reliable, and safe baseload power to an electricity system or support various industrial applications. X-energy is developing its initial Xe-100 plant at Dow Inc.’s UCC Seadrift Operations manufacturing site on the Texas Gulf Coast. In addition, X-energy’s advanced reactor technology offers remarkable efficiency and resiliency to meet the requirements of energy-intensive data centers.

Curtiss-Wright maintains one of the most comprehensive and diverse portfolios of advanced nuclear power equipment, technology, and services globally to support both operating reactors and new build opportunities.
