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:
Andrew Smith (Director of Communications for the American Nuclear Society)
The United States joined a coalition of over twenty countries at last year’s 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to commit to a tripling of the world’s nuclear generation capacity by 2050. The coalition also called on international financial institutions like the World Bank and IMF to end finance bans for nuclear energy projects and to craft nuclear-inclusive lending policies. What role do global conferences and summits have in meeting sustainability goals? How does nuclear energy remain part of the solution set in international discussions on finance, infrastructure, and climate change? What lies ahead for COP29 and beyond?
