GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors and nuclear services located in Wilmington, N.C. Established in June 2007, GEH is a global nuclear alliance created by GE and Hitachi to serve the global nuclear industry.[1]
Brief History
1955 Atomic Power Equipment Department established by GE
1957 GE's first privately financed nuclear power reactor provides electricity for commercial use in Vallecitos, California
1960s BWR 1 and 2 constructed and begin operation
1970s BWR 2 through 4 constructed and begin operation
1980s BWR 5 and 6 constructed and begin operation
1997 ABWR design certified by the NRC
2005 ESBWR design certification filed by NRC
Current Nuclear Reactor Offerings
The Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) is the world’s first operational Generation III Class advanced light water reactor design. The NRC has docketed GEH's petition for renewal of ABWR certification.[2] The Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) is the latest Generation III+ Class design that combines advanced safety features, improved economics, and new operational efficiencies. The ESBWR is scheduled to receive a license from the NRC by September 2011.[3]
GEH’s Power Reactor Innovative Small Modular (PRISM) is a Generation IV reactor that uses liquid sodium as a coolant.
Nuclear Services
As nuclear plants get older and worldwide demand for energy increases, GEH offers a wide range of valuable services that can improve performance, increase power output, and extend plant life.
Fuel Services
GEH’s fuel cycle business supplies reliable fuel products and services to customers around the world.
