In Canada, the production of modular atomic reactors BWRX-300 was licensed: what is it that is what they build them

< p >< strong > Ge Hitachi Nuclear Energy (Geh) & nbsp; & ndash; The GE Vernova, which specializes in nuclear energy, is a well -known GE Vernova company. The main product of the 10-year developments of the company was the small modular atomic reactor BWRX-300. Negotiations on the beginning of construction of the first reactor in Canada were & nbsp; announced & nbsp; company in 2024. In total, Darlington is planned to build four small units, each of which has a power of 300 MW, and the launch into commercial operation of all units is planned to be carried out in early 2029. ~ ~ ~ > 62 > 62 ~ < P >< Strong > BWRX-300 & nbsp; based on boiling water reactor technology and has a power of up to 300 MW. It is very compact and has a simplified design compared to the “traditional” nuclear reactor. It can work on “commercially available fuel”, & nbsp; states & nbsp; a company, and you can build one power unit of this type in 24-26 months.

Such small reactors could be a good solution for Ukraine as most of the “traditional” energy of the country is damaged or destroyed as a result of Russian terrorist attacks.
