The Rolls-Royce SMR, also known as the UK SMR, [1] is a small modular reactor (SMR) design being developed by the Rolls-Royce (RR) company in the United Kingdom. The company has been given financial support by the UK Government to develop its design.
Rolls-Royce has been working on so-called nuclear microreactors for more than three years. The company said the reactors could provide energy for data centers, mining, and space missions.
The Neptune/Radioactive Components Facility Site was licensed in November 1961 and houses the Neptune test reactor which is used to conduct experiments on reactor cores. It was created as a joint company in 1954 with the name Rolls-Royce and Associates ; the associates being Vickers , Foster Wheeler and later Babcock & Wilcox .
The reactor fuel was highly enriched uranium (HEU) enriched to between 93% and 97%. Each nuclear core had a life of about 10 years, so had to be refueled about twice during the lifetime of a submarine. [10] [11] Rolls-Royce Marine Power Operations at Derby was

PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech power company CEZ signed a deal Tuesday with Britain’s Rolls-Royce SMR to form a strategic partnership to develop and deploy small modular nuclear reactors. Under the agreement, CEZ will acquire a 20% share in Rolls-Royce SMR for which it will pay several billion Czech crowns (hundreds of millions of dollars).
A single Rolls-Royce SMR power station will occupy the footprint of two football pitches and power approximately one million homes. Rolls-Royce secures £450m to build mini nuclear reactors Skip ...
The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [116] It represents a breakthrough in molten salt reactor technology, with the potential to make nuclear power safer, cheaper and cleaner. The modular nature of the design, including reactor core and non-nuclear buildings, allows rapid deployment on a large scale.
