Rolls-Royce SMR has welcomed the announcement by Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó of growing strategic cooperation with the UK on nuclear energy, including a specific focus on small modular reactors.
Rolls-Royce SMR’s Director of Strategy and Business Development, Alan Woods, said: “The announcement on cooperation between the UK and Hungary, which specifically mentioned SMRs and described Rolls-Royce SMR as a leader in the development and deployment of this technology, is exciting.
“Hungary is an experienced and credible nuclear nation and our work in Central Europe – including our strategic partnership with Czech utility, CEZ – means there is a huge opportunity in the region.”
Each ‘factory-built’ Rolls-Royce SMR 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.
