Rolls-Royce SMR
The Rolls-Royce SMR, also known as the UK SMR, 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. In 2019 it was estimated that the 470 MWe units would cost around £1.8 billion, or £3.3 billion per GW, once in full production. By comparison, the planned 3,200 MWe Sizewell C is projected to cost £35 billion, or £10.3 billion per GW. Construction time and site size needed would also be lower.
