Role

Description

technical reports

rca review

dispersion modeling

dose calculation

accident scoping

source term modeling

Produce quality technical reports following standard RR-SMR policies and processes.
Perform technical review of RCA tasks completed by other team members.
Apply software tools to calculate dispersion of atmospheric releases to onsite and offsite receptor locations.
Calculate radiological consequences, in terms of effective doses and conditional risks, to exposed individuals applying the ICRP radiological protection framework and with consideration of Urgent Protective Actions (UPAs) where appropriate.
Engage with the safety analysis, system design, performance analysis and severe accident analysis areas to identify and scope candidate accident scenarios for RCA.
Develop Source Term and Radionuclide Transport (STaRT) methodologies to model the behaviour and transport of radionuclides during accident scenarios leading to atmospheric releases and/or onsite exposures.
Engage with the chemistry area to determine the fundamental source terms relevant to these accident scenarios.
Implement appropriate models for iodine chemistry aspects with support from the accident chemistry area.
Apply the RR-SR gated review process to govern analysis work and solicit stakeholder feedback and endorsement of analysis scope and objectives.

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.
