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.

The TCR program is working towards establishing and maturing the processes and procedures for adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) in the design and fabrication of nuclear structures, systems and components through a demonstration. A helium-cooled 3-MWt microreactor, TCR pushes the boundaries of complexity of core fuel and flow-channel geometries enabled by the AM in order to boost operational efficiencies. In this special panel session, experts from the TCR program will present the approach and progress on the TCR instrumentation and control (I&C) system.
