# Rolls-Royce SMR international expansion > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/rolls-royce-smr-international-expansion > Updated: 2026-09-11T08:34:28.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Rolls-Royce SMR is expanding its technological partnerships and supply chain integration for its small modular reactor (SMR) program. ABB and Rolls-Royce SMR signed a memorandum of understanding to explore integrating automation, electrification, and communication solutions to support a standardized, factory-built approach to nuclear project delivery. Rolls-Royce SMR is currently conducting site-specific design activities in North Wales and is working with ČEZ in the Czech Republic and Videberg Kraft in Sweden. To support international deployment, the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Energy Industry of the Czech Republic launched the modulreaktor.cz portal. This platform is designed to help Czech companies join the global supply chain for Rolls-Royce SMR projects, providing a centralized location for viewing tenders and expressing interest in services. The initiative seeks to integrate local industry into nuclear technology projects across the United Kingdom and Europe, with main commodity selection expected to continue through the end of 2027. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-11: Rolls-Royce SMR supply chain portal launched for Czech firms A new portal has been launched to help Czech companies access the global supply chain for Rolls-Royce SMR small modular reactors, offering opportunities in the UK and Europe. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rolls-royce-smr-supply-chain-portal-launched-for-czech-firms ### 2026-09-08: ABB and Rolls-Royce SMR partner on nuclear automation ABB and Rolls-Royce SMR have entered a memorandum of understanding to explore automation and electrification solutions for a global fleet of standardized, factory-built small modular reactors. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/abb-and-rolls-royce-smr-partner-on-nuclear-automation --- Cite as: Rolls-Royce SMR international expansion.
