GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) is forming a group of qualified supply chain companies to advance the global deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor.
GEH said the purpose of the supplier group is to help ensure a reliable, cost effective and innovative process for the manufacture and commercialisation of the BWRX-300.
Suppliers who meet pre-defined criteria, customer requirements and demonstrate a willingness to invest in BWRX-300 supply chain capabilities are eligible for selection to the group. The first company to join the group is BWXT Canada, a leader in the design, manufacture and service of commercial nuclear components.
