![]() ![]() ![]() The news came a day after debris believed to be from the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine was found floating about two miles from the submarine’s last known location in the Bali Strait, leading military officials to change the vessel’s status from missing to sunk. It was decided in March this year that the UK’s design of nuclear submarines would be the one used to build them.Īnd now, Rolls-Royce in Derby has been chosen as the company to provide the nuclear reactor plants to power said submarines.The wreckage of an Indonesian Navy submarine missing since Wednesday has been found on the sea floor and all its 53 crew are confirmed dead, Indonesia military commander Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto said Sunday. Since the pact was signed, ministers and those involved spent 18 months deciding on the best way for Australia to acquire what they needed. It was agreed after Australia decided it needed to upgrade its fleet of diesel-powered submarines - which need to resurface often to charge - to nuclear ones, which can stay underwater for weeks - amid increased “Chinese naval power and assertiveness” in the south China sea, not far from Australia. The deal was made to support Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines - something which they don’t yet have - through the help of the UK and the US. The new Rolls-Royce expansion comes as a direct result of the AUKUS deal - a pact signed by the governments of the UK, the USA and Australia in September 2021. I haven’t seen all the details yet, but it’s great for us locally and for the city." The junction there is difficult at times but we'll work with them on that to see if we can't improve."įellow Spondon councillor Nicola Roulstone added: "It’s more positive news for Spondon. There will be some access issues with regards to parking on Raynesway. The skills academy in Sinfin was set up with that in mind because they're going to need to recruit a lot of new members of staff and having the academy in Derby can help that. The jobs are said to be quite specialist jobs and it's not obvious that a lot of jobs will fall to our local residents but we hope to encourage Rolls-Royce to employ more locally. "It's massive for Rolls-Royce and massive for Raynesway. Spondon councillor Chris Poulter on the expansionįormer council leader and Spondon councillor Chris Poulter said: "In my previous role I was aware of the expansion through various sources and any jobs coming from the expansion of a world company like that has got to be encouraged and supported. Rolls-Royce to build Moon base nuclear reactor in space deal ![]() Rolls-Royce completes successful tests of 'game changer' UltraFan engine in Sinfin We'll be bringing you live reaction from across the county in our updates below this story. The submarine sector of Rolls-Royce already employs more than 4,000 people involved in designing and manufacturing pressurised water reactors that power every submarine in the Royal Navy's fleet. Rolls-Royce has worked in tandem with the Royal Navy on its submarines for more than 60 years, but the AUKUS agreement - a tri-lateral pact between the UK, the US and Australia - will mean that Australia acquires its own nuclear propulsion attack submarine capability for the first time.

With funding from the Ministry of Defence, new manufacturing and office facilities will be built on 100,000 square metres of land that Rolls-Royce has recently acquired near the existing Raynesway site. It comes amid a planned major expansion of the submarine sector of the engineering company, after Rolls-Royce Submarines was confirmed to be the supplier of nuclear reactor plants to power attack submarines as part of the tri-nation AUKUS agreement. Rolls-Royce has announced huge new plans this morning to almost double the size of its Raynesway site and create more than 1,000 new jobs in Derby. ![]()
