Rolls-Royce and Turkey’s EUAS International ICC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to carry out a study to evaluate both the technical, economical and legal applicability; and also the possibility of joint production of compact nuclear power stations (aka SMR) to underpin clean economic growth
Our consortium warmly welcomes the Government’s decision to advance our new innovative small modular reactor programme.
The UK SMR Consortium, led by Rolls-Royce, welcomes the positive steps and encouragement by the UK Government, in particular, given our plant is designed around its economics, that these benefits have been independently recognised and verified.
Rolls-Royce has awarded a contract to the Nuclear AMRC to develop a module demonstrator for the UK Small Modular Reactor (SMR). The demonstrator will develop an understanding of modules and underpin the early stage design principles that are pertinent to deliver cost and programme certainty for the manufacture, construction and through-life operation of its UK SMR power plants.
