Czech Republic expands nuclear partnerships with Rolls-Royce SMR and South Korea

In Prague, plans for small modular reactors in the Czech Republic moved forward as CEZ, the partly state-owned utility, and British company Rolls-Royce SMR signed contracts related to the preparation, development, and construction of new mini-nuclear reactors.

Separately, the Czech Republic said its nuclear project with South Korea is progressing on schedule, signaling the possibility of expanding cooperation.

Taken together, the developments underscore ongoing international collaboration in Czech nuclear energy programs, with multiple foreign partners pursuing advanced reactor technology.
