PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech power company CEZ signed a deal Tuesday with Britain’s Rolls-Royce SMR to form a strategic partnership to develop and deploy small modular nuclear reactors. Under the agreement, CEZ will acquire a 20% share in Rolls-Royce SMR for which it will pay several billion Czech crowns (hundreds of millions of dollars).
The Rolls-Royce SMR, also known as the UK SMR, [1] is a small modular reactor (SMR) design being developed by the Rolls-Royce (RR) company in the United Kingdom. The company has been given financial support by the UK Government to develop its design.
Rolls-Royce is preparing a close-coupled three-loop PWR design, sometimes called the UK SMR. [104] [105] The power output was originally planned to be 440 MWe, later increased to 470 MWe, which is above the usual range considered to be a SMR. [106] [107] A modular forced draft cooling tower will be used. [107]
In 2020, EDF Energy put forward plans to build two EPR units, replicating Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, for a total capacity of 3.2 GWe.In parallel, a Rolls-Royce-led UK SMR consortium announced plans for a low-carbon power station around a small, light-water reactor Rolls-Royce SMR linked with renewable energy generation, hydrogen production and battery storage technologies.

SMRs are expected to require less land, e.g., the 470 MWe 3-loop Rolls-Royce SMR reactor should take 40,000 m 2 (430,000 sq ft), 10% of that needed for a traditional plant. [147] This unit is too large to meet the International Atomic Energy Agency 's definition of a SMR being smaller than 300MWe [ 148 ] and will require more on-site ...
