"Rolls-Royce's small modular reactor (SMR) programme - the numbers:
▪️ Three new factories
▪️ 40,000 British jobs
▪️ £52bn economic benefit
▪️ 80% of components built in UK
▪️ £250bn export potential
As part of its commitment to maximise UK involvement in its ground-breaking project, Rolls-Royce SMR has launched a supply chain portal to identify the best British companies to partner with in delivering a fleet of ‘factory-built’ SMR power plants.
The portal - http://bit.ly/Rolls-Royce_SMR - will help companies become part of the Rolls-Royce SMR supply chain for this nationally important project that will significantly improve energy security. #UKmfg"

SMR nuke plants:
"But now, finally, the joke may no longer be true: Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor — and it’s one that might be realized in as little as a decade, they say. The era of practical fusion power, which could offer a nearly inexhaustible energy resource, may be coming near.
Using these new commercially available superconductors, ***rare-earth*** barium copper oxide (REBCO) superconducting tapes, to produce high-magnetic field coils “just ripples through the whole design,” says Dennis Whyte, a professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. “It changes the whole thing.”"
