McDermott signs on for potential Dutch Rolls-Royce SMR integration work

Supply-chain and systems integration focus

McDermott has agreed to support potential Dutch Rolls-Royce SMR-related projects through integration of small modular reactor-powered energy solutions with energy-intensive industrial processes. The cooperation is intended to combine McDermott’s experience in energy transition and industrial decarbonisation—covering low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel and carbon capture and utilisation—with ULC-Energy’s nuclear project development capabilities.

  • Integration of SMR-powered energy solutions with industrial processes, including hydrogen and ammonia pathways, sustainable aviation fuel and carbon capture and utilisation
  • Use of McDermott’s engineering design and cost input for balance of plant and heat integration systems, building on prior work with ULC-Energy

Follow-on to prior hydrogen study

McDermott and ULC-Energy previously collaborated in 2023 on a study of industrial-scale hydrogen production using a Rolls-Royce SMR power plant coupled with a Solid Oxide Electrolyser. ULC-Energy acted as project coordinator and McDermott provided engineering design and cost input for the balance of plant and heat integration systems, which the new cooperation is reported to build upon.

Partner network and SMR policy context

McDermott is joining ULC-Energy’s expanding network of strategic partners led by Rolls-Royce SMR. Other named partners in that network include Siemens Energy, BAM, Mammoet, Bureau Veritas, Urenco, Orano and Fugro, supporting delivery of SMR-powered energy solutions in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Netherlands new-build direction and SMR readiness

The agreement sits alongside reported Dutch policy moves. In December 2021, the Netherlands’ new coalition government placed nuclear power at the heart of its climate and energy policy, including keeping the Borssele plant in operation for longer and calling for construction of new reactors. Based on preliminary plans, two new reactors are expected to be completed around 2035, each with a capacity of 1000-1650 MWe. The government is also taking steps to prepare the Netherlands for possible SMR deployment.

What Rolls-Royce SMR would deliver

Rolls-Royce SMR’s design is described as a 470 MWe small pressurised water reactor intended for consistent baseload generation for at least 60 years. About 90% of the design is expected to be built in factory conditions, with on-site activity mainly limited to assembly of pre-fabricated, pre-tested modules, a feature intended to reduce project risk and potentially shorten build schedules. In August 2022, Rolls-Royce SMR signed an exclusive agreement with ULC-Energy to collaborate on deployment of Rolls-Royce SMR power plants in the Netherlands.

EDF signs non-exclusive partnership framework with Technip Energies for EPR2 delivery

Partnership aims to support EDF’s EPR2 execution

EDF has announced a new non-exclusive agreement with Technip Energies tied to delivery of the EPR2 reactor programme.

The arrangement provides for Technip Energies to deploy experienced personnel into key operational roles within EDF, with the focus on the project and construction management process.

EDF says the model places these personnel into integrated teams working alongside EDF’s personnel, with the intent of strengthening execution discipline and improving schedule predictability across EDF’s nuclear new-build activities.

EPR2 rollout timeline and site sequence

The broader EPR2 programme outlined in February 2022 envisages six new EPR2 reactors, with an option for a further eight.

The first three pairs are proposed to be built, in order, at the Penly, Gravelines and Bugey nuclear power plant sites.

An earlier construction and commissioning target expected construction to start in 2027 with commissioning in 2035, but the commissioning target for the first reactor at Penly is now 2038, with subsequent units following at intervals of up to 18 months.

Supply chain and long-term cooperation theme

EDF stated that the agreement establishes a common foundation for long-term cooperation, enabling both companies to combine complementary capabilities and capitalise on lessons learned from large-scale industrial projects in support of EDF’s future nuclear developments.

In EDF’s description of roles within the partnership, it said the EDF Group brings reactor engineering mastery and an efficient supply chain dedicated to building EPR2s, while Technip Energies contributes complex project management skills.

The EPR2 reactor is described as a pressurised water reactor project developed by EDF and Framatome, designed to meet general safety objectives of the third generation of reactors and to incorporate design, construction and commissioning experience feedback from the EPR reactor, as well as operating experience from nuclear reactors currently in service.
