Currently, Rolls-Royce SMR is developing a “mini nuclear power plant” that can be operational much faster than traditionally built plants, thanks to its standardized, modular design.
Electrical output of up to 470 megawatts
The company has revealed that its pressurized water reactors are designed to achieve an electrical output of up to 470 megawatts, enough to supply approximately 1.1 million households with electricity.
“We are currently experiencing a global renaissance of nuclear energy. Numerous countries are turning to nuclear technology to produce low-emission electricity, and small modular reactors will play a key role in this,” said Karim Amin, a member of the Siemens Energy Executive Board.
