GE Vernova Hitachi has reached a major regulatory milestone with its BWRX-300 modular reactor, now deemed suitable for construction in the United Kingdom. This follows the completion of Step 2 of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process, conducted by the Office for Nuclear Regulation, the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales. The consortium chose to follow a shortened two-step GDA path, making it the first to do so under the revised procedure.
