Good progress is being made in developing and manufacturing the PWR3 reactor for the Dreadnought Class submarines. The Ministry of Defence continues to work closely with Rolls-Royce Submarines to ensure delivery of the reactor components in time to support Dreadnought entering service in the early 2030s as planned.
