In reaction to Great British Nuclear announcing Rolls-Royce SMR as the winner of the UK Small Modular Reactor competition, Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:
“This is a hugely significant moment for Rolls-Royce SMR and for the British nuclear programme. These SMRs will provide essential energy security and clean power alongside large scale reactors, all the while creating thousands of well-paid, skilled jobs, opportunities for growth right across the country and significant export potential. We look forward to working with Rolls-Royce SMR and all other potential SMR vendors, including those not successful today, on making Britain the best place to build new nuclear anywhere in the world.”
