General Electric (GE), the US Department of Energy, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and utilities are undertaking a cooperative program to enable advanced light water reactor (ALWR) designs to be certified by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). GE is seeking to certify two advanced plants; the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) and the Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (SBWR). Both plants use advanced features that build on proven BWR technology.
