In the 1990s, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission certified GEH's ABWR in the U.S., the first advanced Generation III design (a U.S. Department of Energy classification) to begin operation globally. Today, four ABWR plants have been completed and put into commercial operation. An additional three ABWR plants are under construction, with four more plants in the planning stages. ABWR is the foundation of GEH's advanced reactor portfolio.

GEH is the last remaining U.S. vendor of Light Water Reactor (LWR) technology owned by a U.S. company; has the most current ongoing construction experience; is construction ready; and believes in getting things right. New build nuclear energy is not a sprint for incentives (U.S.), but rather a more than 60 year technology commitment.

New Reactor Products

ABWR The Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) is the foundation of GEH's nuclear reactor portfolio. The design is available today for immediate generation needs of about 1500 MW, providing technology and schedule certainty, along with competitive economics.

ESBWR GEH's next evolution of advanced BWR technology is the ESBWR. It utilizes a number of new features to provide better plant security; improved safety; more location options; excellent economics; and operational flexibility that ultimately increases plant availability.
