US-based GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) and Fermi Energia of Estonia have signed an agreement to support the potential deployment of a BWRX-300 small modular reactor in Estonia.
The agreement means GEH can support Fermi Energia in key areas such as licensing, human resources, supply chain development and development of the information and analysis needed for potential deployment of the BWRX-300 in Estonia.
GEH and Fermi Energia, an Estonia-based company established by nuclear industry professionals, signed a memorandum of understanding in 2019 in which the companies agreed to examine the economic feasibility of deploying a BWRX-300 SMR.
