Reactors

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.^[3] The Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR), the Generation III+ Class design reactor, received a positive final safety evaluation report and final design approval in March 2011, and is expected to receive a license from the NRC by September 2011.^[4]^[5]

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. GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy owns the Morris Operation--the only de facto high-level radioactive waste storage site in the United States.
