Czech state-controlled utility CEZ will establish a strategic partnership with UK-based Rolls-Royce SMR for the development of small modular reactors (SMR), prime-minister Petr Fiala told a press conference on Wednesday 18 September.
A government statement said the partnership will be concluded on the condition that Rolls-Royce SMR passes a standard security assessment test.
Fiala said Prague is not interested to “only build” new SMR plants but participate in their production on a global scale.
