Rolls-Royce SMR has been selected as one of the first Project Working Groups under the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors.
As an active member of the Alliance, set up to accelerate the deployment of SMRs to support decarbonisation, energy security and deliver economic benefit across the region, Rolls-Royce SMR welcomes the decision and recognises the importance of this European collaboration.
As the most advanced SMR design in Europe, the Rolls-Royce SMR power station draws upon standard pressurised water reactor technology that is currently operating safely in hundreds of reactors around the world and has successfully progressed to the final stage of regulatory assessment in the UK.
Sophie Macfarlane-Smith, Rolls-Royce SMR’s Head of Customer Engagement, said: “We look forward to working with our European customers, supply chain partners and other Industrial Alliance stakeholders to accelerate the growth of the advanced manufacturing and modular construction capabilities across the region that will support the faster, economic deployment of nuclear technology and deliver real, sustainable economic benefit.”
The Rolls-Royce offers a radically different approach to delivering new nuclear power. Each ‘factory-built’ nuclear power station will provide enough low-carbon electricity to power a million homes for more than 60 years and will create thousands of long-term, high-skilled jobs.
