One such project is the installation of a GE Hitachi BWRX-300 at the Clinch River site. This funding is intended to increase market confidence in the ability of the U.S. nuclear industry to integrate lessons learned from past projects (such as Vogtle) and deliver a new round of safer, more efficient Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) on time and within budget.The Inflation Reduction Act (IIJA) provides funding for projects that deliver carbon-free energy on time and on schedule.
