Rolls-Royce is focused on creating mechanical, electrical and nuclear power solutions to meet the ever-growing global demand for safe, reliable and sustainable power.

Our Novel Nuclear programme is developing commercially viable solutions that provide long-term clean and safe power, bringing new energy and power dense technology to industry.

Novel nuclear – powering the future with nuclear

Our unparalleled expertise in nuclear propulsion systems for submarines, gives us unrivalled access to nuclear capability and a proven supply chain. This puts us in an advantaged position to become a leading player in contiguous nuclear fields, across both defence and civil applications.

With more than 60 years of nuclear heritage, Rolls-Royce is the UK’s only nuclear reactor vendor with full lifecycle experience and end-to-end capability to deliver novel technologies based on proven, reliable power solutions.

As we look for solutions to decarbonise industry, the need for clean, safe and reliable energy sources that reduce our reliance on fossil fuels is increasing in the UK and around the world.

The multi-domain applicability of our nuclear technology ensures our solutions will deliver the capability to support commercial and defence use cases in addition to the space domain, creating world-leading power capability for multiple markets and operator needs.
