British Ambassador Matt Field visits ŠKODA JS

"The United Kingdom and the Czech Republic share a strong interest in safe and sustainable energy. I am delighted that ŠKODA JS is supplying components for the British nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C and will be involved in supplying component parts for new types of reactor*," said Matt Field. (*note by ŠKODA JS – small modular reactors/SMRs, where the Plzeň-based company signed a memorandum of cooperation with the British company Rolls-Royce)

"ŠKODA JS proves that even a traditional industrial company can be modern and innovative and push the boundaries in the field of nuclear engineering and energy security," added M. Field after the tour and meeting with the company's management.
