GEH Begins US Licensing Process For BWRX-300 :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

GEH Begins US Licensing Process For BWRX-300 :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: US-based GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy today announced it has officially begun the regulatory licensing process for its BWRX-300 small modular reactor, a “significant milestone” in potentially commercialising the technology as early as 2028.



GEH said it had submitted the first in a series of licensing topical reports, or LTRs, for the BWRX-300 to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. GEH said it expects such LTRs to serve as a foundation for the development of a preliminary safety analysis report that could potentially be submitted to the NRC by a utility customer.
