Rolls-Royce SMR of the UK has signed a contract and memorandum of
understanding with Canadian nuclear engineering firm BWX Technologies Inc
to support future collaboration on the development of the Rolls-Royce SMR.
Under the detailed design contract, BWX Technologies (BWXT) will design the
nuclear steam generators to be used in the Rolls-Royce SMR, a 470 MWe
design based on a small pressurised water reactor that will provide
consistent baseload generation for at least 60 years. 90% of the small
modular reactor (SMR) – measuring about 16 metres by 4 metres – will be
built in factory conditions, limiting on-site activity primarily to
assembly of pre-fabricated, pre-tested, modules which significantly reduces
project risk and has the potential to drastically shorten build schedules.
Each reactor features three steam generators.
