Fuel rods manufactured by Global Nuclear Fuel to be evaluated at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

5 min read

WILMINGTON, North Carolina (August 13, 2025) – High burnup fuel rods, manufactured by Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF, a GE Vernova-led joint venture with Hitachi, Ltd.) have been delivered to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for examination after commercial operation.

The shipment contained rods from GNF2 assemblies that were initially loaded into a U.S. nuclear power plant for two cycles of operation. In close coordination with the plant operator, the assemblies were redesignated as high burnup lead use assemblies through GNF’s U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved licensing process and then reloaded for an additional cycle to achieve operation in the reactor beyond current NRC licensing limits. PNNL is analyzing the rods to determine the impact of the additional cycles on the fuel and cladding performance.   

“The examination of these rods is the next step in our continuous drive to develop higher efficiency fuels that are safer and more reliable,” said Craig Ranson, Installed Base CEO, GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy. “We are proud to be part of this collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, PNNL and our utility partners to benefit the entire industry.”

“This is a significant milestone for our Accident Tolerant Fuel program,” said Frank Goldner, the Accident Tolerant Fuel federal program manager in the Office of Nuclear Energy. “The development of this fuel could further support the Trump Administration’s executive order to facilitate five gigawatts of power uprates at existing power plants by 2030 and high burnup fuels could be a big part of that.”

“This delivery represents a rare and valuable opportunity,” said Mark Nutt, director of PNNL’s nuclear energy market sector. “We look forward to realizing the full scientific potential of this material—that’s an area where PNNL is especially capable, given our multidisciplinary strengths. The resulting research could help achieve several important goals in service to the nation and go a long way toward providing abundant and reliable energy to the grid allowing for US energy dominance.”

The fuel rods were manufactured at GNF’s Wilmington, NC facility. Evaluation of the rods will help provide GNF and DOE with valuable information about high burnup fuel, a key goal of DOE’s Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) program.

High burnup fuel is expected to improve fuel cycle economics and further support power uprates for commercial nuclear power plants by enabling fuel to remain in the reactor core for longer periods of time while also operating at higher efficiency.

It is anticipated that the need for fewer bundles over time will enhance nuclear safety and reduce the spent fuel generated for long-term storage. The post-irradiation fuel rod examinations to be performed by PNNL support GNF’s development, engineering and licensing efforts to ensure the continued safe and reliable performance of fuel under expanded operating conditions.

The fuel shipped to PNNL is the same design that will be used in the initial core designs of the GVH BWRX-300 small modular reactor. The data obtained through this program will be used to support future potential economic improvements in BWRX-300 fuel cycle designs, including extending fuel cycle lengths to 36 to 48 months.

Earlier this month, the Province of Ontario and OPG announced approval to proceed with construction of the first BWRX-300 at OPG’s Darlington site near Toronto. A total of four BWRX-300s are planned for the site with construction of the first unit to be complete by the end of the decade.

In January, it was announced that Duke Energy has entered into an agreement to invest in activities to advance the standard design and licensing of the BWRX-300 SMR and that American Electric Power (AEP) has selected the BWRX-300 for potential deployment at the Indiana Michigan Power Rockport Plant in Spencer County, Indiana, pending approval of the DOE funding request that TVA is leading.

The BWRX-300 SMR represents a cutting-edge technology designed to deliver reliable and carbon-free power with enhanced safety and efficiency. Each BWRX-300 will provide approximately 300 MW of electricity, enough to produce the equivalent electricity needed to power 300,000 homes while significantly reducing the complexity and cost associated with traditional nuclear reactors.

TORONTO (May 8, 2025) - GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH), today announced that construction of the first BWRX-300 small modular reactor has been approved by the Province of Ontario and Ontario Power Generation (OPG). The approval clears the way for construction of the first of four planned BWRX-300s at OPG's Darlington site to begin soon with completion of the first unit scheduled by the end of the decade.

“In deploying the first BWRX-300 small modular reactor, Ontario is leading the way globally in the deployment of SMRs,” said Maví Zingoni, CEO, Power, GE Vernova. “Our work with OPG and project partners will serve as a benchmark for the global nuclear industry.”

“As the world looks to adopt SMR technology, we are proud to be embarking on construction of the first BWRX-300 with OPG, AtkinsRéalis and Aecon” said Lisa McBride, Canada Country Leader, GVH. “Ontario's supply chain is expected to contribute significantly to this project bringing substantial economic benefits to the province including the creation of thousands of jobs during manufacturing, construction and operation.

Early site preparation work at Darlington has been completed and in April the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission granted OPG a licence to construct the first unit.

The 300 MW BWRX-300, a 10th generation design, builds on decades of real-world boiling water reactor operating experience and innovation, using a standard design, a proven delivery model and GVH’s experience with cross-border regulatory collaboration.

GE Vernova has operated in Canada for more than 130 years and its support for the Canadian nuclear industry dates to the early 1950s when the company helped build the first Canadian nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Power Demonstration (NPD) reactor that became the basis for the entire CANDU fleet.
