Over 400 suppliers from North Wales, the UK, and the global nuclear sector have assembled to support Rolls-Royce SMR and Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) in advancing the UK’s first small modular reactor (SMR) project at Gwyndod. The collaboration marks a key step in scaling local and international supply chains for the initiative. Construction and operational plans for the SMRs are progressing under the partnership.
Rolls-Royce SMR welcomes its first cohort of apprentices at Ynys Môn, near the planned Gwyndod nuclear station. The program aims to develop the specialized skills required for the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) initiative. This marks a key step in preparing the workforce for the upcoming nuclear project.
Rolls-Royce SMR begins the **Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)** for its first small modular reactor (SMR) project in **Temelín, Czech Republic**. The assessment marks a key regulatory step toward advancing the country’s first Rolls-Royce-designed SMR. The project aims to contribute to Czechia’s nuclear energy capacity with modular, scalable reactor technology.
Rolls-Royce SMR selects ŠKODA JS to design and supply critical reactor control systems for its small modular reactors (SMRs). The contract advances collaboration between UK and Czech nuclear industries. ŠKODA JS contributes expertise in nuclear instrumentation and control systems for Rolls-Royce’s SMR program.
