Siemens to build steam turbines for Rolls-Royce mini-nuclear reactors
British workers will build steam turbines for Rolls-Royce’s fleet of mini-nuclear reactors, supporting domestic manufacturing. Siemens Energy will produce the large machines at its Newcastle factory for Rolls-designed SMRs in Anglesey, with additional reactors planned for the Czech Republic and Sweden. The move marks the first domestic large-scale turbine production in over 20 years and is framed as localisation under a UK government contract.
