GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy has struck a deal that could lead to research support for the company's Generation IV PRISM reactor as part of a demonstration of small modular reactor technologies at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site.
At a Tuesday morning news conference in Aiken, SC, GE Hitachi and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions announced an agreement to explore the potential of using a PRISM reactor in the demo project..
Garry Flowers, chief executive of Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, noted this is the second research alliance to be discussed as part of the small-reactor project. The first pact, announced in early September, set the stage for talks with Hyperion Power about development of its 25-megawatt "mini" nuclear power reactor.
