GE Hitachi signs MOU with University of Manchester for Work on PRISM Reactor
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) announced today that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with The University of Manchester, according to a Tuesday release. The university will provide GEH with expert technical knowledge and input to the potential deployment of GEH’s innovative PRISM reactor, designed to disposition the U.K.’s growing plutonium stockpile while at the same time generating 600 megawatts of low-carbon electricity.The MOU follows the announcement last month at a nuclear industry conference that GEH and the National Nuclear Laboratory intend to collaborate. With more than 100 attendees, the conference was held in West Cumbria on April 4 for the purpose of exploring the support of potential U.K. business partners to deploy PRISM technology at Sellafield.
