WILMINGTON, North Carolina (February 19, 2026) – Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF, a GE Vernova-led alliance with Hitachi, Ltd. and affiliate of GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH)) and ENUSA today announced the awarding of a contract to provide fuel reloads for Vattenfall’s Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant in Sweden.
The new fuel supply contract was awarded to GENUSA, which is jointly owned by GNF and ENUSA, and runs from 2028 and includes several reloads of GNF2, a high-performance fuel assembly designed to offer increased power and lower operating costs.
“With a long history supporting the nuclear industry in the Nordics, ENUSA has manufactured more than 3,500 assemblies of GNF-designed fuel for Forsmark since 1993 and we look forward to supporting Vattenfall with our efficient and reliable fuel,” said Craig Ranson, Installed Base CEO, GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy and CEO of GNF.
The GNF2 fuel for the Forsmark site will be fabricated in Spain at ENUSA’s Nuclear Fuel Manufacturing Plant in Juzbado, utilizing GNF-supplied components.
"We are honored by Vattenfall’s decision to extend this collaboration that started more than 30 years and that will strengthen our relationship,” said Mariano Moreno, President and CEO of ENUSA. “The Juzbado facility has already supplied more than 12,600 assemblies of BWR fuel to customers throughout Europe and this new contract shows the trust in the GENUSA supply of products and engineering services.”
The fuel assemblies, whose components are designed by GNF, include proven Defender™ PLUS debris filters that are designed to significantly improve the chance of stopping feedwater debris from reaching fuel assemblies.
