L&T and US-based GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) have signed an MoU for
co-operation on Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) and Advanced Boiling Water Reactor
or (ABWR) nuclear power plants.
GEH's ABWR technology is the world's commercially proven Generation III
advanced reactor design, with four units in operation and another four under
construction.
L&T and GEH hope to employ indigenous capabilities for the complete
construction of nuclear power plants, including supply of reactor equipment and
systems, valves, electrical and instrumentation products for ABWR plants to be
set up in India.
