Commitment to initial funding for SMR welcomed by consortium
Our consortium warmly welcomes the Government’s decision to advance our new innovative small modular reactor programme.
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.
Rolls-Royce has today signed a Memorandum of Understanding with state-owned Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) to conduct a technical feasibility study for the construction of a Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactor (SMR) in Jordan, highlighting the growing international interest in small modular nuclear technology.

We’re leading the way with an innovative and effective solution to a changing global power requirement.
British consumers could benefit from lower cost electricity if the Government was to back an SMR programme for the UK, according to a new report issued today by Rolls-Royce and its partners in a UK Small Modular Reactor (SMR) consortium.
