![]() ![]() The BWRX-300 is a 300 MWe water-cooled, natural circulation SMR with passive safety systems that leverages the design and licensing basis of GEH's U.S. "Through our collaboration we look forward to the opportunity to bring carbon-free energy generation to Poland and support the creation of valuable uranium supply jobs in Canada." "GEH is honored to be working with Cameco and Synthos Green Energy to deploy the BWRX-300," said Jay Wileman, President & CEO, GEH. "In addition to this MOU, SGE is working closely with GEH to identify supply chain opportunities in Poland that complement the export capabilities being developed in Canada for the BWRX-300, which could enable us to successfully deliver carbon-free electricity to the grid." "We look forward to working with Cameco and GEH in understanding the uranium requirements for a fleet of BWRX-300s in Poland and the support that Canada has to offer," said Rafał Kasprów, President of the Board of SGE. "This MOU is a great example of the kind of innovative solutions businesses like Synthos Green Energy are exploring and how SMRs could contribute to industry-driven efforts to decarbonize." "We believe nuclear energy will play a major role in helping countries and companies around the world achieve their net-zero emission targets," said Cameco president and CEO Tim Gitzel. In July 2021, GEH, Global Nuclear Fuel-Americas (GNF-A) and Cameco agreed to explore several areas of cooperation to advance the commercialization and deployment of BWRX-300 SMRs in Canada and around the world. SGE and GEH signed a strategic agreement in 2020 that further advanced the cooperation.Ĭameco supplies uranium, uranium refining and conversion services to the nuclear industry worldwide. In 2019 SGE and GEH agreed to collaborate on potential deployment applications for the BWRX-300 in Poland. Synthos, a manufacturer of synthetic rubber and one of the biggest producers of chemical raw materials in Poland, is interested in obtaining affordable, on-demand, carbon-free electricity from a dependable, dedicated source. (GEH SMR Canada), Cameco Corporation (Cameco) and Synthos Green Energy (SGE), a member of the Synthos Group S.A., have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to evaluate the potential establishment of a uranium fuel supply chain in Canada capable of servicing a potential fleet of BWRX-300 small modular reactors (SMRs) in Poland.
