Rolls Royce is the best possible company to be doing this - they have a
track record in small PWRs from submarines. They have a track record in
power generations from OCGT and CCGT adaptations of aero engines,. They
also have the total quality approach in place for the jet engine
program. And they have manufacturing capable of high quality mass
production.

At the moment SMRs are being talked about all over the place. When it
