GE developed breakthrough light water technology in the mid-1950's called Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). Since that time, GE has developed nine evolutions of BWR technology, including the 1st operational Gen3 advanced BWR (ABWR) design in the world. The latest design evolution is the Economically Simplified BWR (ESBWR) incorporating innovative advanced passive safety features and new levels of construction and operational efficiencies.
GE Hitachi (GEH) currently has 56 plants operating worldwide with an operating capacity of 50+ GWatt. The 36 plants in North America avoid the release of 185+ million tons of greenhouse gases per year. This clean generating capacity delivers base load electricity and sustains our plant in an ecologically friendly manner.
For 50+ years GEH continues to provide safe, clean, and robust advanced technology to the civilian nuclear power industry. Today, New Units, Services and Fuel are the 3 main business segments delivering products and services with the highest levels of integrity, safety and quality that deliver world class customer value.
