Škoda JS to be the exclusive supplier of drives for Rolls-Royce reactors

Škoda JS, part of the ČEZ group, signed a contract with the British company Rolls-Royce SMR on September 23 for the supply of drives for small modular reactors. Under the agreement, the Plzeň-based company will become their exclusive designer and supplier. ihned.cz ↗

The contract concerns control rod drives, which are among the key components of reactor systems. The value of the contract is approximately 40 million euros, or around one billion crowns. Škoda JS has thus secured a long-term role in the upcoming program of the British small modular reactor manufacturer. hnonline.sk ↗

The first Rolls-Royce SMR reactor in the Czech Republic is to be built at the site of the Temelín nuclear power plant. Škoda JS's deliveries are also expected to extend to further reactors of this type, should they be built in the future. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

Small modular reactors are smaller nuclear facilities that can be manufactured and assembled using standardized production processes. Rolls-Royce SMR links their development to the possibility of gradually expanding nuclear energy.

For Škoda JS, the contract means involvement in an international project and confirmation of its role in nuclear engineering. The company, headquartered in Plzeň, focuses on equipment for nuclear power plants and is part of the ČEZ group. Further developments will depend on the preparation of the first reactor project in Temelín and on the progress of the British modular reactor program. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
