In this government report 3 days ago RR is mentioned as usual which can't be ignored...

https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CDP-2024-0036/CDP-2024-0036.pdf

"In the 2022 British Energy Security Strategy, the government committed to

taking at least one SMR project to final investment decision in the next

Parliament.15 The Rolls-Royce 470 MW SMR76 has received the most UK

Government support so far, receiving £210 million in 2021 that was matched

by £280 million of private investment."

Here's a small quote from the Times...

I would like to think that a positive announcement on the development and research on hydrogen engines could be made given the time that both RR and EasyJet have invested on this project.

You missed one action and that is the litigation by RR to Motely Fool.

Can you, like last year, register for their Zoom meeting?

I'm getting a little frightened.

The Singapore air show begins on Tuesday. Here's hoping for a major order announcement adding to the 22nd announcement.

Again, RR haven't been recruiting new specific nuclear related employees for nothing and without, obviously, receiving substantiated commitments from the government, RR will be producing SMRs at some point fairly soon.

More good news...

Google's real time SP is accurate and it's graphs are good, except their final price which is totally wrong!

For a while the SP has been up and down repeatedly and I was expecting to to fall at the last minute, so, what news are we missing? It must be a optimistic run up to the 22nd. : )

M Fool continues with their sabotage...

The diplomatic and economic ties between the UK and US are very much embedded which suggests the tender invitations to American companies is not surprising. Similarly, RR's presence in the US market is substantial. There is absolutely no doubt that RR SMRs will win UK contracts with possibly American additions which will keep the British poodle relationship with the US intact.

Understandably, the concern over the UK granting foreign SMRs money raises legitimate questions but don't get upset over the future of RR SMRs.

In the article it doesn't say the RR has been cancelled, it states...

"Other contenders include EDF, NuScale Power, Rolls Royce SMR, and Westinghouse Electric Company UK."

Again, in one of their links...

Chris Cholerton, Rolls-Royce SMR CEO, is quoted as saying (as you may remember),

“We have the only SMR technology in a European regulatory approval process, putting us almost two years ahead of any of our competitors. Securing a domestic contract is vitally important to unlock the enormous global export potential of our clean energy technology.”

This factual optimism is still tangibly relevant, so hold on and keep your heads up. We'll get there!

RR SMRs will take off. The government can not ignore Qatar's investment of £200m and their own investment.

In the run up to the election, the press would hound them if they decided otherwise.

As we know, the job boost announcement can only help them and boy, do they need it.

Les, it has long been established here that Motley Fool is the tabloid of financial market interpretation.

Up and down recommendations in trying to impress inexperienced investors is irresponsible.

RYCEY is up right now at 1%

Cev, you are right. 'Durability' is effectively, in this case, maintenance periods which upset the Emirates' CEO, Tim Clark. In the FT...

"Sir Tim Clark, Emirates’ president, said the fuel-efficient engine did not meet the Dubai government-owned carrier’s maintenance requirements. “We don’t buy aeroplanes that are defective,” he told reporters at the Dubai Airshow on Tuesday."
