Tom Samson, Rolls-Royce SMR CEO, has led a delegation to the Czech Republic to discuss plans for deploying a fleet of small modular rectors (SMRs) in the region.

A senior team from Rolls-Royce SMR has this week visited potential locations for its small modular reactor (SMR) power stations and met stakeholders from communities around the Berkeley and Oldbury nuclear sites.

The three sites from which Rolls-Royce SMR will select the location of its first factory have been announced. The heavy pressure vessels (HPV) factory will produce components for a fleet of small modular reactors (SMR) designed and built here in the UK.

Rolls-Royce SMR has been selected as the preferred nuclear technology provider for the newly formed Solway Community Power Company ltd planning to bring new nuclear power to West Cumbria.

Rolls-Royce SMR, supported by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), has successfully completed a siting assessment review into the potential options for deploying Rolls-Royce SMR power stations.

In July, Rolls-Royce SMR announced its shortlisted locations for the first factory to manufacture components for its Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power station. Over the next six weeks, a team from Rolls-Royce SMR will visit the locations to gather more information that will assist with a further 'down-select' of the factory sites.

Rolls-Royce SMR has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Czech nuclear engineering and manufacturing firm Škoda JS.

Rolls-Royce SMR has signed an exclusive agreement with the Dutch development company ULC-Energy to work together to deploy Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power stations in the Netherlands.
