LC Fence Secures TRISO-X DOE Facility in Oak Ridge TN
When it comes to large-scale, high-security projects, few companies in East Tennessee have the qualifications, history, and craftsmanship to deliver at the level required. That’s why Loudon County Fence was chosen to install the full perimeter and internal fencing for the new TRISO-X fuel fabrication facility currently under construction in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
This project is a major milestone for the region — not only because TRISO-X represents the future of advanced nuclear fuel technology, but also because it’s a testament to how local companies like ours are helping shape that future with trusted expertise and precision-built infrastructure.
About the TRISO-X Project
TRISO-X, a subsidiary of X-energy, is constructing the nation’s first commercial TRISO fuel fabrication facility (TF3) in Oak Ridge. The facility will produce TRISO-X nuclear fuel, a next-generation fuel designed for advanced reactors that are cleaner, safer, and more efficient.
According to the company, TRISO fuel consists of spherical uranium kernels coated with multiple carbon and ceramic layers — each acting as a containment system capable of withstanding extreme conditions. This technology is expected to play a key role in America’s transition to carbon-free, reliable energy production.
The new Oak Ridge facility is being built to serve commercial, government, and defense clients — with production expected to ramp up in the next few years.
