About

Global Nuclear Fuel Americas is a joint venture of GE Vernova and Hitachi Ltd and the primary fuel supplier for BWRX-300 reactors. The company received $3 million in DOE funding in May 2026 to establish a second BWR fuel rod production line and automate pellet inspection at its Wilmington, North Carolina facility. As the BWRX-300 programme advances at Darlington, Clinch River, and future sites, GNF-Americas' expanded fuel production capacity is essential to meeting first-of-a-kind delivery timelines.
