Curtiss-Wright Signs Strategic Partnership With Rolls-Royce SMR for Its Small Modular Reactor Technology
August 4, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced that its UK-based Curtiss-Wright Nuclear business (formerly Ultra Energy) signed a multi-million dollar strategic partnership with Rolls-Royce SMR to deliver critical safety systems for its Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology. Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright will provide design, qualification, testing and supply of the non-programmable diverse Reactor Protection Systems for a global fleet of Rolls-Royce SMRs.
Work under this agreement, including the design and implementation of Curtiss-Wright’s Reactor Protection Systems, will be performed by Curtiss-Wright Nuclear’s facility in Dorset, UK, supporting regional economic growth, as well as expanding the UK’s nuclear skills, opportunities and capabilities.
“We have a strong UK-based team focused on supporting this partnership and we’re all excited to be part of the Rolls-Royce SMR story,” said Ognjen Starovic, General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Nuclear. “We take great pride in helping to deliver a British SMR, as well as provide our people with new career opportunities and create long-term job growth in the region.”
Ruth Todd, Rolls-Royce SMR’s Operations & Supply Chain Director, said: “We are delighted to begin this important and enduring partnership with Curtiss-Wright. Securing industry leading expertise will further de-risk our programme by underpinning a critical element of the design.”
The Rolls-Royce SMR will be the first new nuclear power station to be designed and built in the UK for more than a generation and offers a radically different approach based on proven technology. Each ‘factory-built’ nuclear power plant will provide enough affordable, low-carbon electricity to power a million homes for more than 60 years.
In October 2024, Rolls-Royce SMR was selected by CEZ to deploy up to 3GW of electricity in the Czech Republic and in July 2025, Rolls-Royce SMR was selected as preferred bidder by Great British Energy – Nuclear to provide the UK’s first SMRs. The Rolls-Royce SMR is progressing through the final stage of Assessment by the UK nuclear industry’s independent regulators - further ahead than any other SMR in a European regulatory process.
Non-programmable diverse Reactor Protection Systems are safety critical back-up instruments, designed to provide an independent means of shutting down a reactor. They are simple and robust, deploying proven-in-use electronic technology and techniques, while avoiding the use of microprocessors, software or programmable devices.

Why LG Brought ASMR Mode to the LG G8XThinQ
12/18/2019 | LG NewsroomWhat does whispering into a microphone, tapping fingernails on a hard surface and wind blowing through trees have in common? They’re all part of an odd collection of activities that fall under the term Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Most people, of course, just call it ASMR and it’s of the most viewed content categories on YouTube.
