BWRX-300 - Wikipedia
The BWRX-300 is a design for a small modular nuclear reactor proposed by GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH). The BWRX-300 would feature passive safety , in that neither external power nor operator action would be required to maintain a safe state, even in extreme circumstances.
BWRX-300 Reactor in Darlington, Ontario | GE Hitachi Nuclear
OPG contracted with GE Vernova to build four of its BWRX-300 small modular reactors (SMRs) at the Darlington New Nuclear Project site. When constructed, each unit will deliver enough electricity to power 300,000 Toronto homes and is 10% the size and complexity of even a traditional boiling water reactor (BWR) .
