Rolls-Royce will manufacture nuclear reactors to power new U.K. submarines under a contract valued approximately at $11.1 billion.

Rolls-Royce and the UK Ministry of Defense agreed to a $11 billion deal for nuclear submarine reactors, the biggest between the two parties.

Britain said on Friday it had awarded Rolls-Royce a 9 billion pound ($11 billion) eight-year contract to design, make and support the nuclear reactors that power its fleet of submarines, amid U.S. calls for higher defence spending.

A £9bn deal for nuclear submarine reactors has been agreed between the Ministry of Defence and Rolls-Royce - the biggest ever between the two. Defence Secretary John Healey announced the agreement on Friday during a visit to the firm's nuclear reactor production facility in Derby.

Rolls-Royce has won a £9bn contract to upgrade submarine nuclear reactors. The firm will also build reactors for new nuclear-powered subs.

Rolls-Royce signs £9B contract with U.K. Ministry of Defence to design and build nuclear reactors to power new submarines, creating jobs and streamlining operations.

The deal will mean Rolls-Royce continues to provide plant and support to the UK’s nuclear-powered submarines for at least the next eight years, including all the vessels in the Vanguard class which currently provide the UK’s at-sea nuclear deterrent.

This investment in Britain’s defence will deliver a long-term boost to British business, jobs and national security'
