While fuel particles are much cooler when the reach the divertor, they still retain enough energy to knock atoms loose from the material of the divertor when they impact. Previously, JET’s divertor had a wall made of graphite. However, graphite absorbs and traps too many of the fuel particles for practical use.
Ambient office = 83 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 117 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 116 nanosieverts per hour

X-energy is the inventor of the Xe-100 high temperature gas cooled small modular reactor (SMR). They announced on April 4th that their wholly owned subsidiary, TRISO-X LLC, has selected the Horizon Center Industrial Park in Oak Ridge to site their TF3 plant which will initially produce eight tons of fuel per year. This is enough to provide fuel for twelve Xe-100s.
