CASTLE HAYNE -- GE Energy exhibited its hope for nuclear energy as it opened its reactor technology design center for a new generation of nuclear reactors.

About 250 engineers from across the U.S. will work in the 40,000-square-foot building. The company is hoping to see the first orders for new U.S. nuclear power plants in 30 years next year.

GE Energy Nuclear moved its headquarters to Wilmington in 2003 with help from $11 million in state and local subsidies.
