(asked on 21st March 2023) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, where the nuclear reactors for the SSN-AUKUS submarines will be built.
This question was answered on 24th March 2023
All the UK's SSN-AUKUS hulls will be built at the Barrow shipyard, and all the nuclear reactors for the UK and Australian SSN-AUKUS submarines will be made in the UK by Rolls Royce in Derby. This arrangement will create thousands of jobs, particularly in Barrow-in-Furness - the home of British submarine building.
