Czech Republic teams up with Rolls-Royce to improve small nuclear reactor development.
Reading
CEZ, a Czech power company, is teaming up with Rolls-Royce SMR from Britain to build small nuclear power plants. CEZ will buy a part of Rolls-Royce SMR for a lot of money.
CEZ wants to build the first small power plant at their current Temelin nuclear site in about 10 years. This partnership will bring about 3 GW of energy to the Czech Republic.
CEZ will also help Rolls-Royce SMR with other power plant projects in Europe and other parts of the world. The Czech government owns most of CEZ.
The Czech Prime Minister thinks this is a big step in making sure the country has enough energy. The new power plant is expected to make 470 MW of power for 60 years.
Small nuclear power plants are like regular ones but make less power. They are faster and cheaper to build, and their size can be adjusted to fit the location.
