Arup appointed by Great British Energy - Nuclear for early-phase engineering and design support for Wylfa SMR project

The UK's inaugural Small Modular Reactor project at Wylfa, Anglesey, just moved forward with Arup securing the early-phase foundation engineering and design support. Great British Energy - Nuclear, the proposed publicly-owned clean energy arm of the UK Labour Party's initiative, selected the global independent firm for this critical foundational work. Arup, with its extensive advisory and technical expertise spanning over 150 disciplines, will lay the groundwork for what is intended to be the nation's first SMR. This agreement provides a tangible early step for a project championed by a nascent public entity, leveraging established engineering prowess for a complex nuclear build.
