Nuclear energy supplies over 16% of the world's
electricity. A nuclear reactor is used to generate electricity. This is accomplished in a clean and efficient way by boiling
water to make steam which drives turbine generators.
Except for the reactor itself, a nuclear power station
works like most coal or gas-fired power stations.
GE motors are installed worldwide in many nuclear power
generation stations. We have extensive design, application
and manufacturing experience in safety (1E) and
non-safety (non-1E) environment motors. Over 2,000,000
horsepower of GE motors are installed globally in nuclear
power stations, including heat transfers (PHT), circulating
cooling pumps (CCW) and other applications.
