Original: NRC issues first U.S. construction permit for a BWRX-300 small modular reactor
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued the first US construction permit for a BWRX-300 small modular reactor, clearing the way for the Tennessee Valley Authority to build the GE Vernova Hitachi design at its Clinch River site in Tennessee. It marks a milestone for next-generation nuclear power in America, with supporters calling it a breakthrough for deploying smaller, cheaper reactors as demand for clean baseload electricity grows.
Why now: It is the first US regulatory approval to build this small modular reactor, a milestone for the nuclear industry and clean energy.
