Russia's state atomic energy corporation Rosatom has teamed up with Finnish utility Fortum and Rolls-Royce to explore opportunities for the construction and operation of VVER nuclear power plants in the UK.

The companies will work together on preparation for the VVER reactor generic design assessment and assessing the opportunities for licensing of a nuclear power plant construction site, Rosatom said. The UK Government and Rosatom have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate this commercial work.

Under the collaboration agreement, signed 5 September, Rolls-Royce will undertake engineering and safety assessment work for Rosatom ahead of potential licensing of VVER reactor technology in the UK.
