Two steps forward for U.K. advanced nuclear
This week, two significant announcements have emerged from the United Kingdom’s advanced reactor sector.
On June 14, Rolls-Royce, the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory, and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency announced that they had signed two trilateral memorandums of cooperation to collaborate on “advanced modular reactor (AMR) technology, specifically high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR), and the coated particle fuel these reactors will use.”
Separately, on June 16, Bellevue, Wash.–based TerraPower announced that its Natrium reactor design has been formally submitted for U.K. regulatory review. The company also announced the formation of a new subsidiary, TerraPower UK Ltd.

Session Chair:
Amanda Bachmann (ANL)
As nuclear energy is poised to grow, so is the nuclear workforce. Effective and sustainable workforce expansion will likely involve engagement, recruitment, and retention of people from non-traditional or underused pipelines. These pipelines can include community colleges, trade schools, vocational programs, non-traditional students, and a wider variety of educational backgrounds. This panel will discuss some of the current and expected workforce needs in the nuclear industry, current strategies to engage with different workforce pipelines, and best practices for engaging with new talent pipelines. The panel will also touch on how some of these practices fit into broader goals of recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. This session is co-organized by DIA, ETWDD, and OPD.
