The process ensures that the designs meet safety, security and environmental protection requirements throughout their lifecycle.
Rolls-Royce‘s small modular reactor (SMR) has cleared the second step in the UK’s independent nuclear regulators’ Generic Design Assessment (GDA).
The GDA process critically evaluates new nuclear power plant designs proposed for deployment in the UK.
It ensures that the designs meet safety, security and environmental protection requirements throughout their lifecycle, from construction to decommissioning.
Rolls-Royce’s SMR now moves into the third and final phase.
Rolls-Royce SMR’s progression to Step 3, the detailed assessment, marks a significant home advantage as it is set to become the first new nuclear power station designed and constructed in the UK in over a generation. |
