Fluor Selected By X-Energy To Provide Engineering, Design, And Project Management Services For The Cascade Small Modular Reactor Project In Washington; Undisclosed Contract Value To Be Booked In Q3

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.
