Climate change and its consequences are one of the greatest challenges ever to face mankind. The global challenge around decarbonisation is huge.
At Rolls-Royce SMR, our vision is simple – we want to provide clean, affordable energy for all.
A new approach to delivering nuclear power
Our Small Modular Reactor is an integrated power station, that takes well understood, existing nuclear technology and applies a factory-based philosophy to its fabrication and assembly.
This repeatable, standardised approach generates huge efficiency gains to make it a commoditised product that is affordable, repeatable, deliverable and investable on a global scale, providing cheaper and more flexible electricity to form part of a future balanced, clean energy mix.
When fully operational the Rolls-Royce SMR programme will create 40,000 regional UK jobs by 2050 and generate £54bn in economic benefit, with a forecast to target £250bn in global exports for the UK.
