BWRX-300 SMR passes U.K. regulatory milestone
GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 small modular reactor has completed the second step of the generic design assessment (GDA) process in the United Kingdom. In this step, the U.K. Office for Nuclear Regulation, the Environment Agency, and Natural Resources Wales did not identify “any fundamental safety, security safeguard or environmental protection shortfalls with the design of the BWRX-300.” Step 1 was completed in December 2024.

Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Overview of efforts in the field of fundamental and applied physics with tritium carried out with participation of RFNC-VNIIEF in 2007-2013 is made. New physical results of studying of muon-catalyzed fusion and neutron excess nuclei are presented; project of a new experiment on searching for a magnetic moment of neutrino using a tritium source and helium detector is discussed. Description of a tritium support testbed for a plasma focus-type neutron source with intensity of 1013 s-1is given. Results of studies in the area of interaction of hydrogen isotopes with structural materials are summarized.
