Company

Overview

470 MWe

Nuclear Reactor Capacity

Output capacity of the pressurized water reactors designed by the company.

90% factory-built

Manufacturing Efficiency

Modules are almost entirely constructed in factories, reducing on-site complexity.

June 2025

Regulatory Milestone

The company successfully passed early regulatory milestones and won the UK government’s SMR competition.

1 million homes

Energy Supply

Each reactor is capable of powering a million homes for 60 years.

A team of 15 engineers at Rolls‑Royce began designing a compact, scalable nuclear solution in 2016.
Blends decades of naval reactor experience with advanced manufacturing.
Modules are nearly 90% factory‑built across 1,500 parts, then shipped and assembled on site—cutting costs, time and complexity.
The company uses a boron-free primary circuit, eliminating toxic boric acid and reducing water use and waste.
Backed by strategic investors and partners like ČEZ and Siemens Energy to support global rollout.
Positions itself as a repeatable, investable product offering dependable 'always-on' clean energy to grids and industries.

Culture + Values

Innovative and forward-thinking.
Focused on safety, quality, and integrity.
Committed to delivering customer success.
Collaboration and teamwork across functions and regions.
A culture of continuous learning and development.
Driving a performance culture with a focus on results.
Empowering employees to make decisions and take responsibility.

Environment + Sustainability

2050

Net Zero Commitment

Committed to achieving Net Zero by the year 2050, aligning with global sustainability targets.

Focus on reducing carbon emissions through advanced nuclear technology.
Development of compact, small modular reactors (SMRs) to provide cleaner, low-carbon energy.
Sustainability goals to align with international frameworks such as the Paris Agreement.
Supporting the UK government’s energy transition strategy with clean, reliable energy solutions.

Inclusion & Diversity

Striving for greater gender balance in the workforce.
Creating an inclusive and respectful work environment.
Empowering diverse talent to contribute at all levels of the organization.
