GE Vernova and AFRY Collaborate to Deploy Small Modular Reactors in Sweden
GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy has announced a partnership with AFRY, a Swedish engineering and advisory firm, to support the deployment of GE Vernova's BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) technology in Sweden. This collaboration aims to leverage AFRY's regional expertise and extensive presence across Europe to facilitate the integration of Swedish industries into the growing European and global SMR market. The agreement is part of GE Vernova's strategy to build a robust industrial ecosystem around the BWRX-300, enhancing local capability development and regional value creation. The partnership will also involve AFRY in the development of a license application for the BWRX-300 to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority. The first BWRX-300 is currently under construction at Ontario Power Generation's Darlington site in Canada, with completion expected by the end of the decade.
