About

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, presented on GE Vernova's nuclear site as GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy, develops and supplies advanced reactor technology together with nuclear fuel and lifecycle services. Its core SMR product is the BWRX-300, a 300-MWe boiling-water reactor derived from GE's licensed ESBWR and designed with passive safety systems, an established fuel configuration, and a simplified plant architecture. On 2026-03-14, GE Vernova and Hitachi announced a memorandum of understanding to explore BWRX-300 deployment opportunities in Southeast Asia and potential participation by qualified Japanese suppliers; the companies reported that the first BWRX-300 was under construction in Canada and TVA's U.S. construction-permit application was under NRC review.
