The reports contain joint positions on safety classification and qualification of TRISO fuel, and joint reviews of white papers submitted by GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC (GEH) on the safety strategy and steel-plate composite containment vessel and reactor building structural design for the BWRX-300 SMR. The joint reports on the BWRX-300 are the first products to be issued under the Charter signed by NRC and CNSC to collaboratively work on the licensing of that design in both countries.
