U.S. company HOLTEC approaches South Yorkshire with £1.3bn offer to start Small Nuclear Reactor production

Representatives from an American nuclear energy company have visited South
Yorkshire as it explores options for a new Small Modular Reactor (SMR)
facility. Earlier this year, Holtec – which has been working at Sizewell B
for more than15 years – shortlisted South Yorkshire as a potential location
for its new SMR factory in the UK. The factory would present a major £1.3bn
investment and job creation opportunity. Representatives from Holtec and
senior officers from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority visited
three potential factory sites in the region. The mayor and the Holtec
delegation also met with senior business representative in the region to
gain an insight into the region’s industrial heritage, strengths and
potential for future growth.
