Nuclear operator Fortum and UK-based Rolls-Royce SMR have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore opportunities for the deployment of small modular reactors in Finland and Sweden.
The agreement is part of Fortum’s new build feasibility study exploring the prerequisites for new nuclear in Finland and Sweden.
Laurent Leveugle, Fortum’s head of new build feasibility study, said the company is especially interested in learning more about Rolls-Royce SMR’s delivery model. “Any potential investment decision will be made at a later stage,” he said.
