					<description><![CDATA[AI data centers will consume 1,100 TWh in 2026 — Japan’s entire output. Helion Energy’s field-reversed configuration with direct magnetic energy conversion eliminates the thermal cycle entirely. No steam. No turbine. 150M°C D-T fusion demonstrated Feb 2026. 50 MW Orion plant building now. Grid power by 2028.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[X-energy’s Xe-100 uses TRISO pebble-bed fuel that physically cannot melt down — SiC integrity holds to 1,600°C with no active cooling. 750°C helium outlet serves both electricity (76 MWe/module) and industrial process heat. DOE ARDP backed ($2.5B). Amazon invested $700M. Dow Chemical plant under construction in Seadrift, TX. The only advanced reactor that powers both data centers and refineries from the same platform.]]></description>
