BWRX-300

Nuclear Reactor

The BWRX-300 is a design for a small modular nuclear reactor proposed by GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy, developed from the company's earlier boiling water reactor lineage. It is engineered around passive safety, meaning the reactor is intended to reach and maintain a safe shutdown state without external electrical power or operator action even in extreme circumstances. The BWRX-300 has a design lifetime of 60 years. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
