Written Answers
Rolls-Royce: Small Modular Reactors
Asked by: Lord Spellar (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 19th January 2026

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of British manufacturing content Rolls Royce committed to in their submission for the contract for small modular reactors.

Answered by Lord Vallance of Balham - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

As set out on 24 December (HL12986), Great British Energy-Nuclear's (GBE-N) ambition is for 70% British built products across a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) fleet, including both on-site and off-site activity.

The GBE-N SMR Technology Selection Process evaluated bids against technical, economic, and social value criteria, though any specific commitments would remain subject to final government approvals and GBE-N entering into contract with Rolls-Royce SMR.
