Under the agreement, Fluor will provide engineering, design development, supply chain, estimating and project controls services for the nuclear island scope of the facility. The project aims to incorporate X-energy’s Xe-100 high-temperature gas-cooled reactor technology, with Fluor leveraging learnings from ongoing work with X-energy on its first Xe-100 project to advance project development, optimize execution planning and support critical investment decisions.

The Cascade Advanced Energy Facility is expected to deploy four Xe-100 reactors capable of generating approximately 320 megawatts of carbon-free electricity, with the potential to scale to a total of 12 units and 960 megawatts of generating capacity. It is the first project in X-energy’s effort to deploy 5 GW of new nuclear by 2039.

The award further strengthens Fluor’s relationship with X-energy and reinforces the company’s leadership in advanced nuclear energy. Earlier this year, Fluor announced a contract to provide similar services for X-energy’s proposed advanced nuclear project at Dow’s UCC Seadrift Operations in Texas. Taken together, these projects demonstrate growing momentum for next-generation nuclear technologies and Fluor’s role in helping clients deliver reliable, low-carbon energy solutions.
