contents Brun's constant is the summation of the reciprocals of all twin primes, given by $B=\sum_{p \in P_2}{\left( \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p+2}\right)}$. While rigorous unconditional bounds on $B$ are known, we present the first rigorous bound on Brun's constant under the GRH assumption, yielding $B < 2.1594$.
