GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s advanced reactor design has passed a safety review, clearing the way for final U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission certification by the fall of 2011.
With completion of this review, the Castle Hayne company said, the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor design now begins the federal rulemaking process and is on target to become a certified “Generation III+” reactor model in about one year.
