GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) has signed a project development memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Finland-based software and systems engineering firm Space Systems Finland (SSF). Under the terms of the deal, the companies will look into potential opportunities to collaborate on future nuclear power plant projects around the world, as well as in Finland.
In addition, Finnish utility Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) has unveiled its plans to build a fourth reactor at its Olkiluoto nuclear power station. It is now evaluating several different reactor technologies for the project, including GEH’s Generation III+ economic simplified boiling water reactor design (ESBWR).

As part of the agreement, SSF will support GEH in making sure that the ESBWR’s advanced digital instrumentation and controls systems can be licensed in Finland. SSF will review the design, as well as identify and recommend any system architectural modifications necessary for the ESBWR design to comply with Finland’s special regulatory requirements.
