GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) and Samsung C&T, a leading construction and engineering company, announced a strategic alliance to advance deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) in strategic global markets outside of North America. The two companies on October 7 said they will focus their collective efforts on developing the supply chain and project delivery solutions for GVH\u2019s SMR. The groups also said they will work together in the potential deployment of five BWRX-300s in Sweden.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the first unit of our BWRX-300 under construction in Canada, we are well positioned to lead the deployment and scale of the SMR industry,\u201d said Mav\u00ed Zingoni, CEO Power, GE Vernova. \u201cThis collaboration with a leading player like Samsung C&T, which has a solid track-record of helping to deliver nuclear projects safely, on-time and on-budget, will further strengthen the BWRX-300 position among the most advanced, deployment ready, and lowest risk SMR technology available today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Se-chul Oh, Samsung C&T CEO, said, \u201cThis agreement marks a strategic collaboration where Samsung C&T and GVH aim to become global leaders in the nuclear power segment. The collaboration will capitalize on Samsung C&T\u2019s extensive experience in nuclear power and infrastructure project execution, combined with GVH\u2019s validated technological expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first BWRX-300 is under construction at Ontario Power Generation\u2019s Darlington site in Canada, with completion expected by the end of the decade. The companies on Tuesday said that if that project is completed on its current timeline, it would be the first SMR \u201cin the Western World.\u201d The groups added that, \u201cKey components like the reactor pressure vessel are being manufactured, and site construction is progressing according to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted and is reviewing Tennessee Valley Authority\u2019s (TVA) application to construct the first BWRX-300 in the U.S., at the utility\u2019s Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee<\/a>; and Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE)<\/a> has selected W\u0142oc\u0142awek as the site for Poland\u2019s first SMR. In Sweden, Vattenfall has down-selected the BWRX-300 as it evaluates the construction of new reactors adjacent to its Ringhals plant site on the V\u00e4r\u00f6 Peninsula.<\/p>\n Each BWRX-300 can provide approximately 300 MW of electricity.<\/p>\n Samsung C&T\u2019s Engineering & Construction Group has more than 40 years of engineering and construction experience operating throughout the world. The group spans commercial and residential buildings, civil infrastructure and plant construction.<\/p>\n Its landmark projects include Burj Khalifa (the world\u2019s tallest building), the ongoing Riyadh Metro Project in Saudi Arabia, the Qurayyah 4,000-MW CCPP Project, and the ongoing Qatar 2,000-MW Solar Power Project.<\/p>\n
