GE Vernova and Hitachi win US NRC nuclear permit

GE Vernova and Hitachi have secured a construction permit from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a new reactor design. The regulatory approval confirms that the design meets current safety and construction readiness requirements in the United States.

The permit allows the partners to start licensed construction activities tied specifically to this advanced nuclear reactor project. The milestone enables the venture to transition the design from engineering plans into regulated build phases.

GE Vernova operates power equipment and services businesses across the United States, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The permitted reactor adds to an existing operating footprint that includes power generation, grid hardware, and electricity storage solutions.
