CHANTILLY, VA., April 8, 2025 — ČEZ, Czechia’s largest energy utility, has selected Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) to support its new nuclear program by advancing plans for two small modular reactors (SMRs).
Amentum’s Brno-based nuclear and project management specialists will deliver environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports relating to proposals for Rolls-Royce SMRs on sites at Temelin, home to an operating gigawatt nuclear station, and Tušimice, a coal-fired power station which is due for decommissioning.
“Our global nuclear capability, combined with our long-standing presence in Czechia and deep knowledge of the planning process, makes us the ideal partner to advance this strategic project,” said Andy White, Senior Vice President of Amentum Energy & Environment International. “Our objective is to help ČEZ and Rolls-Royce take a huge step along the critical path towards demonstrating the effectiveness of SMRs for decarbonizing electricity production.”
“SMR technology has the potential to be a major part of the worldwide expansion of nuclear power and Amentum is pleased to support ČEZ in its efforts to deploy the technology in Czechia. We’re proud to be able to leverage our global nuclear capabilities to help enable such an important project,” added Mark Whitney, President of Amentum’s Energy and Environment business.
Amentum’s team carried out initial scoping studies for the two sites and then won the contract to complete the full reports after a public tender. The EIAs will cover potential radiological hazards, waste management, accident conditions and consequences, measures to prevent groundwater and river contamination, transport, noise and dispersion.
The completed EIA reports will be subject to a public hearing and independent assessment before they can be formally approved by Czechia’s Ministry of the Environment.
