In 2020 the original target cost for a 470 MWe Rolls-Royce SMR unit was £1.8 billion for the fifth unit built, [33] or around £3.8 million per MWe. As a comparison the estimated cost for the full-size 3.3 GWe Sizewell C nuclear power station was £22 billion, or around £6.7 million per MWe. [ 10 ]
The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [118] 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.
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.

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 core module of the ACP100 multi-purpose, small modular pressurized water reactor (PWR), also referred to as the Linglong One, is transferred to a ship on July 14, 2023, in Dalian, Liaoning ...
Developers say small reactors will be built faster and at a lower cost than large power reactors, scaling to fit the needs of a particular location. The Czech Republic relies on six nuclear reactors to generate more than a third of its electricity and plans to rely on nuclear power and renewable resources after deciding to phase out coal for ...
In 2019 the US EIA revised the levelized cost of electricity from new advanced nuclear power plants going online in 2023 to be $0.0775/kWh before government subsidies, using a regulated industry 4.3% cost of capital (WACC - pre-tax 6.6%) over a 30-year cost recovery period. [80]
