Doosan Enerbility joins Rolls-Royce SMR projects

May 28 (Asia Today) -- Doosan Enerbility has been selected as a strategic manufacturing partner for key components in small modular reactor projects being developed by Rolls-Royce SMR.

Doosan Enerbility said Wednesday it will conduct manufacturability reviews for major reactor components to be used in Rolls-Royce SMR projects in Britain and the Czech Republic.

The collaboration covers the Wylfa SMR project in Britain and the Temelin SMR project in the Czech Republic.

Rolls-Royce SMR signed a contract in April with Great British Energy -- Nuclear, Britain's state-owned nuclear delivery body, and began site-specific design work for three small modular reactors planned at the Wylfa site.

In the Czech Republic, Rolls-Royce SMR signed an early works contract with state-controlled utility CEZ Group and is carrying out site licensing and preliminary design work for a project at Temelin.

Rolls-Royce SMR was established in 2021 to develop small modular reactors. Its largest shareholder is British aerospace and defense company Rolls-Royce PLC.

The company is developing a 470-megawatt small modular reactor designed to provide stable baseload power for at least 60 years.

"The cooperation with Rolls-Royce SMR will be an important opportunity for Doosan Enerbility to expand its role in the global SMR supply chain," said Kim Jong-doo, head of Doosan Enerbility's nuclear business group. "Based on our accumulated experience and technology in manufacturing main nuclear power plant equipment, we will actively support Rolls-Royce SMR's projects."
