Rolls-Royce Holdings plc Secures Czech SMR Contract as Europe’s Nuclear Race Heats Up
CEZ and Rolls-Royce SMR signed an early-works contract for a small modular reactor at the Temelín nuclear site, with the first Czech unit now expected in the second half of the 2030s. The agreement follows a similar UK deal and marks Rolls-Royce’s second SMR contract in Europe. The contract covers project planning and licensing but does not include equipment delivery or construction.
