Rolls-Royce teams up for advanced modular nuclear reactors to power 3 million homes
SMRTR summary
Rolls-Royce SMR has partnered with Škoda JS to produce components for its Small Modular Reactor program, potentially installing up to 3 GW of nuclear capacity. Each 470 MWe reactor generates clean energy equivalent to over 150 wind turbines, with 90% built in factory conditions. Selected to build the UK's first SMR fleet, Rolls-Royce's reactors will power about 3 million homes for at least 60 years, positioning the company as a potential world leader in SMR technology and Britain's key green export technology.
