LONDON - Rolls-Royce has acquired R.O.V Technologies, Inc, a US-based business primarily providing nuclear utility operators with remote visual inspection services for Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR).
"The acquisition of R.O.V Technologies underlines our commitment to developing a nuclear business that meets customers' needs for improved equipment reliability and outage performance over the operational and extended lifetime of their plant," said Jason Smith, Rolls-Royce President-Nuclear.
"R.O.V Technologies has an impressive portfolio of remote inspection and cleaning solutions and provides a natural extension to our nuclear services business, bringing complementary BWR expertise and broadening our existing Pressurized Water Reactor remote inspection capability."
Rolls-Royce delivers wide-ranging capabilities across the nuclear cycle from concept design to through-life and life-extension. Its nuclear expertise spans high value engineering and manufacturing, licensing, project and supply chain management. The Group's nuclear services activity represents more than half of its civil nuclear business and includes support to operational reactors in 20 countries across Europe, North America and Asia.
