Background

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) describes itself as 'a world-leading provider of advanced reactors and nuclear services'.

Set up in June 2007, GEH is 'a global nuclear alliance' created by GE and Hitachi to serve the global nuclear industry. It is based in the US.

Events

In April 2012- GEH hosted a nuclear industry suppliers conference in West Cumbria, England to meet with potential UK business partners in support of GEH’s proposal to offer its PRISM technology to help address the country’s plutonium waste management challenges.

Activities

In April 2012 GEH signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Nuclear Laboratory Ltd. (NNL). NNL will provide expert technical input to the potential UK deployment of GEH’s innovative PRISM reactor, which would be specifically designed to disposition the UK's plutonium while generating 600 megawatts of low-carbon electricity.
