Why GVH?
With more than 60 years of nuclear industry experience, GE Vernova Hitachi brings proven outage planning, training, and execution discipline to pressurized water reactor services. The same rigorous procedures and programmatic controls, refined through decades of BWR operations, strengthen our approach to safety, ALARA, FME, quality, and schedule adherence for PWR services.
What sets GVH apart is a performance-driven, collaborative approach to PWR services. We align closely with INPO 24-001 standards while moving beyond transactional service models, applying lessons learned across reactor technologies to help ensure consistent, high-quality execution and long-term operational excellence across the PWR fleet.
Standardized outage preparation
Our comprehensive Outage Readiness Review (ORR) process identifies and mitigates risks well before work begins.
Reliable nuclear processes
Bring decades of experience into streamlined outage procedures to help ensure repeatable success.
Performance-based outcomes
Our collaborative approach focuses on long-term impact and mutual success.
Integrated workforce expertise
Through strategic collaboration, we provide access to one of the largest nuclear workforces in the industry.
PWR services
GVH provides comprehensive PWR services to support planning, execution, and continuous improvement, with a focus on precision, safety, and repeatable performance to reduce outage risk and improve schedule adherence.
We provide end-to-end support for all major PWR configurations, including:
Advanced technology
PWR overwatch remote monitoring
An advanced remote system featuring articulating cameras and pop-up reactor head cameras.
Knowledge transfer & retention
Supplemental training utilizing a vast library of fleet-wide performance videos.
Proven history
GVH PWR services are configured for retention, continuity, and long-term performance. We support the evolving needs of the nuclear industry. Our PWR capabilities were significantly expanded in 2015 through a strategic collaboration with Constellation and other industry collaborators to help ensure sustained value beyond a single outage cycle.
We don’t just support outages, we help keep PWRs operational through:
Develop advanced tooling: Engineered and deployed specialized equipment and transition plans for complex reactor configurations.
Consolidate procedure: Rewrite and enhance site-specific procedures to help improve efficiency and safety.
Achieving record performance: Helping PWR sites achieve some of the shortest maintenance durations in their histories.
Frequently asked questions
Consistency is driven by the GVH PWR Reactor Maintenance Standard and our knowledge transfer and retention (KT&R) program. We capture training videos and best practices from across the global fleet to ensure that lessons learned at one site improve performance at every other site.
Yes. We offer year-round operational support, including spent fuel pool cleanup, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) operations, and maintenance of fuel handling equipment. We also aid utilities with outage scheduling and procedure writing, helping to ensure they're well-prepared before the outage window even begins. This continuity allows us to maintain deep site knowledge and helps ensure seamless transitions between outage cycles.
GVH's legacy spans nearly 60 years, with licenses for 67 reactors across 10 countries. We're recognized for a track record of quality and excellence, and we're committed to sustaining it.
Most reactors operating in the world today are either boiling water reactors or pressurized water reactors. While both reactors heat water to produce steam, in a BWR the steam created in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) goes directly to the steam turbine generator (STG). In a PWR, heat is transferred into a separate water loop within the steam generator, which in turn boils the water for steam generation.
