- The proposed plant would use small modular reactors (SMRs) instead of traditional large-scale ones.
- A Wilmington-based company, GE Vernova Hitachi, is a leading contender to provide the SMR technology for the project.

A Wilmington-based company could help the utility giant meet that goal.
Duke is exploring the potential of building a new nuclear facility at a site in the Piedmont near the Belews Creek Steam Station in Stokes County.
