mini nuclear power plants which are
smaller and less expensive to build
than traditional nuclear plants.
A statement said that a consortium
led by Rolls-Royce has proposed a
significant joint investment of more
than £500m focused on designing a
first-of-a-kind small modular reactor.
“The consortium expects to more
than match any government funding
both by direct investment and by
raising funds from third-party organisations,”
the statement said.
Rolls-Royce welcomed the announcement,
saying funding from the
government will be matched in part
by contributions from the consortium
and by attracting third party investment.
“The investment is needed to
mature the design, address the considerable
manufacturing technology
requirements and to progress the
regulatory licensing process,” the
company said.
The consortium comprises Rolls-
Royce, Assystem, SNC Lavalin/Atkins,
Wood, Arup, Laing O’Rourke, BAM
Nuttall, Siemens, National Nuclear
Laboratory and Nuclear AMRC.
The government said a working
model of a new plant is expected to be
up and running in the early 2030s,
creating 40,000 jobs at its peak, with
each power station producing enough
clean energy to power 750,000 homes.
Additionally, the government is
providing up to £40m through its
advanced modular reactor (AMR)
programme and is currently considering
project bids.
Up to £ 5 m will also be provided to
the Office for Nuclear Regulation and
the Environment Agency to prepare
for SMRs and AMRs.

GNS, the eleventh company
worldwide to hold ASME N3
certification
pp
Certified for compliance with
Class ISS requirements for cask
internals for the first time ever
(gns) GNS has earned the “Certificate
of Authorisation N3” from the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) after successfully
undergoing a rigorous survey. A
team of about fifty GNS employees
has been involved with the preparations
for the audit in the
eighteen months leading up to it.
This certificate of authorization
enables GNS, as one of only eleven
companies worldwide, to design,
test, fabricate, inspect and deliver
