GE Vernova’s Nuclear businesses includes both GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) and GE Vernova Steam Power Services (SPS).  GVH is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors, fuel and reactor services, and SPS provides turbine island services for North America’s large-scale nuclear installed base.

The GVH nuclear alliance combines GE Vernova’s design expertise and history of delivering reactors, fuel and services with Hitachi’s proven experience in advanced modular construction.

Our history of boiling water reactor (BWR) technology dates to the 1950’s. Most recently, GVH has developed and is deploying an industry leading small modular reactor (SMR), the BWRX-300, a cost-competitive, 10^th generation BWR based on proven technology and powered by today’s commercially available fuel design, GNF2.

The first BWRX-300 is under construction at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington New Nuclear Project (DNNP) site, with an additional three units being planned. SaskPower has entered into an agreement with GVH to collaborate on project planning and to share expertise for the BWRX-300. GVH also plans to establish a cutting-edge Canadian BWRX-300 Engineering and Service Centre in Durham region near the DNNP site.

In addition to a heritage of designing BWR technology, we have been designing and manufacturing BWR fuel, as well as servicing the fleet for more than 60 years. Our Global Nuclear Fuel joint venture has fuel manufacturing facilities in Wilmington, North Carolina and Kurihama, Japan. We have also partnered with ENUSA to serve European customers from ENUSA’s Juzbado, Spain manufacturing location.

The GVH and SPS services teams have a broad portfolio of offerings for components and systems. These teams can conduct refueling outages, execute an array of inspections and make modifications and upgrades to both reactor and turbine/generator components and systems. The parts group provides commercial-grade parts, dedicates parts to safety-related specifications and can fully meet the Product Quality Initiative requirements
