摘要

Rolls-Royce has announced that it is supporting US-based NuScale Power LLC in its submission to the United States Department of Energy's (US DOE) funding opportunity announcement to bring scalable, small modular reactor technology to market by 2025. The development of clean and affordable nuclear power options is a key element of the DOE Nuclear Energy Research and Development Roadmap. High priority is placed upon accelerating timelines for the commercialization and deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) technologies through its SMR Licensing Technical Support programme.
