NRC issues first U.S. construction permit for a BWRX-300 small modular reactor at Tennessee Valley Authority’s Clinch River site

5 min read
  • Decision advances BWRX-300 deployment in the U.S. and reinforces growing regulatory momentum across North America

KNOXVILLE, TN (September 29, 2026) – GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) today welcomed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) issuance of a construction permit to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for a BWRX-300 small modular reactor at its Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

The permit is the first issued in the United States for a BWRX-300 and represents a significant milestone for TVA, GVH and the U.S. nuclear industry as the country advances toward a new generation of nuclear power deployment.

“This is a milestone for TVA and GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy, and an important moment for new nuclear in the United States,” said Eric Gray, CEO of GE Vernova Power Segment.  “TVA has shown strong leadership in advancing new nuclear, a commitment bolstered by the collaborative efforts of the NRC and Department of Energy. Together, and in alignment with federal Executive Orders aimed at accelerating advanced reactors, we are grateful for this collaboration as we work to support the deployment of the first BWRX-300 in the country.”

The NRC’s decision follows an extensive review of TVA’s construction permit application and builds on significant engagement between TVA, the NRC and GVH. The process demonstrates how experience, early regulatory engagement and a mature reactor design can support a more efficient pathway for advanced nuclear projects.

The milestone also adds to growing regulatory progress for the BWRX-300 across North America. In April 2025, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) issued Ontario Power Generation (OPG) a License to Construct the first BWRX-300 at its Darlington New Nuclear Project site, where nuclear construction is now underway. In March 2026, OPG submitted its License to Operate application for the first unit, which is currently under review by the CNSC. In September 2026, Blue Energy submitted the first part of its construction permit application to the NRC for a BWRX-300 planned for its gas-plus-nuclear project in Texas.

Together, these projects are establishing a growing body of licensing experience that can be applied across future BWRX-300 deployments.

“Fleet deployment is essential to scaling nuclear energy in the United States,” said Jason Cooper, CEO of GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy. “A standard design, combined with a predictable and efficient regulatory environment, allows us to apply common technology, licensing experience, supply chain capabilities and lessons learned from one project to the next. Clinch River brings us another step closer to making that fleet model a reality.”

TVA submitted its construction permit application for Clinch River in April 2025. The project builds on TVA’s existing Early Site Permit for Clinch River and is located within the Oak Ridge nuclear ecosystem, near the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The BWRX-300 is a 300-MW small modular reactor designed to reduce construction complexity by using a simplified configuration and leveraging decades of boiling water reactor operating experience.

Blue Energy moves Texas gas-plus-nuclear project into NRC construction review, marking a major regulatory milestone

6 min read
  • Submission of the first part of the Construction Permit Application advances a second U.S. BWRX-300 project toward construction and builds momentum for fleet deployment

WILMINGTON, N.C. (September 16, 2026) – Blue Energy has submitted the first part of its construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the first BWRX-300 small modular reactor planned for its gas-plus-nuclear project at the Port of Victoria, Texas.

The submission represents another important step toward deployment of a fleet of BWRX-300 reactors in the United States. It follows the Tennessee Valley Authority’s construction permit application for a BWRX-300 at the Clinch River site in Tennessee, where the NRC review is approaching a decision.

“Blue Energy’s progress through the NRC process is another important step toward deploying the BWRX-300 in the United States,” said Jason Cooper, CEO, GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy. “This is what fleet deployment looks like: projects advancing on common technology, licensing work and supply chain capabilities, allowing us to apply lessons from one project to the next. With Blue Energy moving forward and the first U.S. BWRX-300 construction permit approaching a decision at Clinch River, we are seeing the foundations of a BWRX-300 fleet take shape in the United States.”

Blue Energy’s proposed project in Victoria, Texas, is expected to combine GE Vernova 7HA.02 gas turbines with BWRX-300 small modular reactors as part of the company’s gas-plus-nuclear development model. Blue Energy selected the BWRX-300 earlier this year and has been working with GVH to advance engineering and licensing activities for the project.

“This filing is an important step in turning our vision for repeatable, scalable, rapidly-built new nuclear into a real project,” said Jake Jurewicz, CEO and co-founder of Blue Energy. “Our team has moved from technology selection to the NRC construction permitting process in a matter of months, and we are proud of the progress we are making with GE Vernova. We believe combining Blue Energy’s approach to project development and construction with the BWRX-300 can create a faster, more repeatable path to deploying new nuclear power in the United States.”

Blue Energy is pursuing a phased approach to its construction permit application. The company expects to submit the remaining portion of the application in 2027 after they complete the NRC-mandated one calendar year of site-specific data collection.

GVH is supporting Blue Energy with technical information and engineering work related to the BWRX-300. The companies announced a project acceleration agreement in April 2026 to advance deployment of BWRX-300 small modular reactors and GE Vernova gas turbines at the Texas project.

The Blue Energy milestone comes as BWRX-300 deployment continues to advance in North America. Ontario Power Generation is constructing the first BWRX-300 at its Darlington New Nuclear Project in Ontario, Canada, while TVA is progressing licensing and development work for a BWRX-300 at Clinch River in Tennessee.

These projects are establishing the licensing, engineering, manufacturing and supply chain foundation needed to support repeat deployment of the BWRX-300 in the United States and internationally.
