GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy's BWRX-300 small modular reactor has completed Step 2 of the UK's Generic Design Assessment (GDA), a significant regulatory milestone overseen by the Office for Nuclear Regulation, the Environment Agency, and Natural Resources Wales. This rapid progress follows the completion of Step 1 in December 2024. The assessment found no fundamental safety, security, or environmental shortfalls in the reactor design. The GDA for the BWRX-300 is co-invested by Orlen Synthos Green Energy as part of the UK government's Future Nuclear Enabling Fund, with the aim of benefiting from regulatory lessons learned. This development supports the global advancement and deployment of the BWRX-300, which is already under construction in Canada and under review in the United States.
