Details

Through the LCN Challenge, Innovate UK supported Rolls-Royce SMR, to become one of the leading small nuclear technology providers in the civil energy market. The programme acted as a vehicle for significant inward investment, creating many jobs and offering a potential of long-term economic benefit to the UK.

The LCN Challenge was set up to aid the UK’s commitment to net zero, by creating new sources of low carbon base power at affordable cost.

To find out more about the LCN programme and its impact, you can read this report where the programmes achievements and contributions to the UK energy sector are detailed.
