VIROO® improves outcomes at nuclear power plants.
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors and nuclear services. Established in 2007, GEH is a global nuclear alliance created by GE and Hitachi to serve the global nuclear industry. The nuclear alliance executes a single, strategic vision to create a broader portfolio of solutions, expanding its capabilities for new reactor and service opportunities. The alliance offers customers around the world the technological leadership required to effectively enhance reactor performance, power output and safety.
We build on our legacy, boldly innovating to provide reliable carbon-free power to the world.
Finding an efficient approach to training personnel and optimizing operations that could reduce operational costs and lower the price per megawatt of the energy, particularly given the extreme requirements, expertise and investment that the nuclear power industry demands.

Fuel movement operations are complex and highly skilled processes that require top level expertise, considerable training and outstanding coordination between the different parties involved.
Built it on VIROO®, the life-size training simulator put the multiple users inside a virtual power plant and allows personnel to walk through processes, train and develop systems for the processing and movement of nuclear fuel materials in virtual reality, minimizing risks and eliminating unnecessary exposures to deadly radiation, limited the spoilage of safety assets and helped protect structures and populations around nuclear power plants.
GEH has plans to significantly expand the application of the training fuel movement simulator and adapt it for use with boiling water reactor technology, pressurized water reactors and to train personnel involved in decommissioning and dismantling operations, a process that is expected to ramp up in multiple countries in the years leading to 2030.
GEH has tapped into VIROO® to go well beyond training and to strengthen design decisions and process improvements , particularly in the development and deployment of small modular reactors (SMR), which are disrupting the nuclear industry due to lower construction and operating costs.
Engineers at GEH used VIROO® to create a full digital twin of GEH’s BWX300 SMR and to conduct virtual review designs sessions with a very positive impact on times and costs of design.
