Rolls-Royce SMR has signed a £multi-million contract and Memorandum of Understanding with world-leading nuclear services and technology company, BWXT.
Signing the detailed design contract for the nuclear steam generators is another vital step forward in the development of the Rolls-Royce SMR and further re-enforces its position as Europe’s leading SMR.
BWXT subsidiary, BWXT Canada Ltd based in Ontario, has been producing high-quality steam generators for the nuclear energy industry for more than 60 years and has supplied more than 315 steam generators to plants around the world.
Ruth Todd CBE Todd, Rolls-Royce SMR’s Operations and Supply Chain Director, said: “The agreement with BWXT for the design of the nuclear steam generators – reinforced by an MoU to support the first units in a global fleet of Rolls-Royce SMRs – is another major stride forward for our organisation.
“Sourcing these critical components from world-leading suppliers is part of our ‘designed for delivery’ approach - combining modularisation and proven nuclear technology - significantly reducing cost, construction time and removing project risk. This is undoubtedly an important milestone, and there remain a huge range of opportunities for the supply chain to become involved and contribute to this transformational programme.”
