Ontario-based BWX Technologies (BWXT) has been awarded an engineering contract by GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) for its BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) reactor pressure vessel (RPV). Work associated with the contract includes engineering analysis, design support, manufacturing and procurement preparations. John MacQuarrie, president of BWXT Commercial Operations said intricate design projects such as the RPV for GEH’s BWRX-300 “are well-suited for BWXT’s engineering capabilities”.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) says it has completed a combined phases 1 & 2 vendor design review (VDR) of GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 boiling water reactor. The VDR takes place during the design process and gives CNSC an opportunity to provide early feedback. It is an optional service provided by CNSC at the request of a vendor. It does not involve issuance of a licence, or influence subsequent CNSC decisions.

GEH said the BWRX-300 is the first SMR technology to have completed two phases of the CNSC’s vendor design review process.
Sean Sexstone, the company’s executive vice-president of advanced nuclear, said: “The successful completion of these phases and the feedback that we have received on our SMR design are important steps in the deployment of this technology.”
In 2020, GEH made its first submittal to the CNSC for its review of the BWRX-300 design. Since then, GEH has made submittals addressing 19 vendor design review areas that included general plant description, control system and facilities, research and development, and design process.
After a detailed assessment of reactor designs, in 2021 Ontario Power Generation (OPG) selected the GEH BWRX-300 as the technology to be deployed at its Darlington nuclear power station site.

The government, which has already announced tax credit and budget support for reactors projects, said it is aiming to support funding applicants in their efforts to address waste generated from SMRs and develop supply chains for SMR manufacturing and SMR fuel supply.
Waste management projects could include identifying and characterising waste streams; researching waste management solutions; understanding the long-term safety requirements for waste storage and disposal; and exploring packaging and transportation requirements.
Supply chain projects could include developing techniques for SMR construction; economic analysis of nuclear and non-nuclear supply chains; and the economic impact and understanding policies related to fuel fabrication and or enrichment in Canada.
