Yokogawa will provide data processing and control systems for the first units of the Rolls-Royce SMR program.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation (“Yokogawa”) and Rolls-Royce SMR have announced a strategic relationship with the intention of delivering data processing and control systems (DPCS) for the latter’s small modular reactor (SMR) program. This agreement covers the provision of control systems for the first units in a planned global fleet of Rolls-Royce SMRs.
The agreement brings one of the world’s leading industrial automation specialists on board to develop and deliver the main control system for the Rolls-Royce SMR program. The scope includes design engineering, validation and qualification, product hardware, system build and testing, installation, and commissioning.
The project will be delivered and supported from Yokogawa’s UK office and design facility in Runcorn, Cheshire, alongside work carried out in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. To support the project, Yokogawa has committed to making considerable investments, helping to secure jobs and strengthen the UK’s nuclear supply chain.
Rolls-Royce SMR has been selected as the preferred bidder by Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) to build the UK’s first SMRs, by European utility ČEZ to build up to three gigawatts of new nuclear power capacity in the Czech Republic, and is one of only two companies to reach the final stage of Vattenfall’s process to identify Sweden’s nuclear technology partner.
