17 May 2021 Share The UK SMR consortium, led by Rolls-Royce, has announced the latest design and an increase in power - from 440 MW to 470 MW - of its "compact" nuclear power station. The "refreshed design" features a faceted aesthetic roof; an earth embankment surrounding the power station to integrate with the surrounding landscape; and a more compact building footprint, the British engineering company said.

23 Apr 2021 How a small modular reactor (SMR) could look (Credit: Rolls-Royce) For many of you, but especially those who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, nuclear power is likely to remind you of cooling towers that loom large over the side of motorways. Often reminiscent of Brutalist architecture, these concrete structures have often been criticised for their aesthetic. While safety measures have come a long way since the days of Chernobyl, residents that live near to these eyesores have often been concerned for their health. Back in 2016 and 2017, Belgium reported micro-f...

UKSMR consortium joins European nuclear industry group The consortium is designing a low-cost factory-built nuclear power station, also known as a small modular reactor Image: UKSMR The UKSMR consortium, led by Rolls-Royce, has joined the European nuclear industry group FORATOM, which promotes the use of nuclear power in Europe. The consortium is designing a low-cost factory-built nuclear power station, also known as a small modular reactor (SMR) and is working with partners and the UK Government to secure a commitment for a fleet of power stations, each providing at least 470MW of electric...

04 March 2021 Share The UK's Rolls-Royce and Estonia's Fermi Energia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to study the potential for the deployment of small modular reactors in the Baltic country. The study will cover all aspects of deployment, including grid suitability, cooling, emergency planning, human resources, licensing feasibility, economics and the supply chain.
