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.
Existing nuclear sites including Bradwell, Hartlepool, Heysham, Oldbury, Sizewell, Sellafield, and Wylfa were stated to be possibilities. [172] The target cost for a 470 MWe Rolls-Royce SMR unit is £1.8 billion for the fifth unit built. [173] [174] In 2020, it was reported that Rolls-Royce had plans to
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 ...
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 ...
CEZ plans to build the first small modular reactor at the existing Temelin nuclear plant in the first half of the 2030s. The partnership is expected to result in up to 3 GW energy sources installed in the Czech Republic. CEZ will also participate in other projects by Rolls-Royce SMR in Europe and around the world.
The project is intended to standardize the construction of nuclear power plants to cut down on cost and duration. According to the design, power plants could be built in as little as two years for $300 million. It is also a template, allowing for site-specific alterations with a plus or minus 20% cost predictability. [90]
These businesses had a revenue of $70 million and about 500 employees in 2018. Rolls-Royce is keeping its nuclear new build and small modular reactor (SMR) business in the UK. [56] In November 2020, the company announced plans to build up to 16 Rolls-Royce SMR nuclear plants across the UK, continuing its nuclear division operations. [57]
