"[Rolls-Royce] has also announced closer strategic collaboration with China National
Nuclear Corporation [CNNC], including engineering and training services.
"The Chinese market is expected to sustain strong growth and we are
well-positioned with relevant technology," it said."
On August 8, 2016 the UK
Guardian newspaper reported that Nick Timothy, co-chief of staff, to the UK Prime Minister,
Theresa May “has previously expressed alarm at the prospect of CNNC having
such close access to the UK’s energy infrastructure because it would give the
state-owned firm the potential ability to build weaknesses into computer
systems.
[CNNC] was formerly China’s
Ministry of Nuclear Industry and developed the country’s atomic bomb and
nuclear submarines...Timothy
singled out CNNC’s military links as
a reason the UK government should be wary of such involvement.”
"The Rolls-Royce pressurised
water reactor (PWR) series has powered British nuclear
submarines since the Valiant class, commissioned in
1966. The first British nuclear submarine, HMS Dreadnought, was powered by a Westinghouse S5W reactor.
... Three propulsion options were considered for the successor to the UK Trident system – [the Rolls-Royce] PWR2, PWR2b (a
PWR2 derivative with improved performance), and PWR3.[9] [the Rolls-Royce] PWR3 is a new system
based on a US design but using UK reactor technology.[10] Both PWR2b and PWR2 would cost roughly
the same but PWR3 is a simpler and safer design with a longer life and lower
maintenance requirements than the PWR2 variants.[9]"
COMMENT
Was Nick Timothy’s "alarm" well based, baseless, or now silent? After all businessmen are taught to place security higher than financial bottom lines.
Although Rolls-Royce is clearly in need of revenue we outside the US are confident that, Chinese Walls within Rolls-Royce, will prevent any
leakage of Rolls-Royce’s [“based on a US design but”] extremely sensitive submarine
reactor technology.
