Description: Small modular nuclear reactors are a powerful way to help countries decarbonize and meet their climate goals. GE Hitachi’s BWRX-300 small modular reactor utilizes licensed and proven nuclear fuel designs and other components. Through dramatic design simplification, GE Hitachi projects the BWRX-300 will require significantly less capital cost per MW when compared to other water-cooled SMR designs or existing large nuclear reactor designs.

As with all power generation technologies, there are carbon emissions associated with nuclear power across its lifecycle. According to the UN IPCC, nuclear lifecycle emissions are approximately 12 gCO2eq/kWh, as compared to approximately 41-48 gCO2eq/kWh for solar PV power and approximately 11-12 gCO2eq/kWh for wind power.
