Rolls-Royce SMR will build three small modular nuclear reactors with a total capacity of 1.5 GW at the Wylfa site in north Wales, a project supported by the UK government and partly owned by Czech energy firm ČEZ, which also plans similar developments in Czechia.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy Storage.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The development of modular reactors by Rolls-Royce and ČEZ opens a new channel for nuclear suppliers and engineering firms focused on modular designs. If you provide parts or services for nuclear projects, the UK and Czech markets just opened a growth runway.
