Information requested
I am interested to learn more detail of the Rolls Royce SMR design but can only find superficial publicity material. Is it possible to obtain details of the design in the RR GDA submissions to you? If so, how do I locate them on your site.
Information released

There is a “documents” page where documents submitted to the regulators are available, notably “Version 2”.
