Responding to Swedish development company Videberg Kraft selecting Rolls-Royce SMR to build small modular reactors (SMRs) in Sweden, Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:
“This is another major endorsement of Rolls-Royce SMR’s technology and a significant boost for Britain’s nuclear export ambitions. Coming so soon after its selection by Great British Energy – Nuclear, it underlines the growing international confidence in the technology and the strength of the British nuclear industry.
“New nuclear projects like this will provide clean, reliable power for decades while supporting high-skilled jobs, industrial growth and energy security. As we move forward with deployment at Wylfa, this agreement shows that British nuclear expertise is not just attracting investment at home, but winning opportunities overseas too.”
