Nuclear tie-up will boost region

South Yorkshire’s Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre could benefit from a ground breaking agreement between Japanese nuclear reactor designer Hitachi and Rolls-Royce.

The agreement was announced after it was revealed that Hitachi had acquired Horizon Nuclear Power, the stalled project to build up to six nuclear reactors in the UK.

Under the deal, the two companies will explore how Rolls-Royce can support Hitachi by providing high value added manufacturing, engineering and technical services.
