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.

At this panel, scientists and engineers from molten salt reactor companies and research institutions will provide their views regarding industrial needs for fundamental research on molten salt properties, chemistry, and corrosion to support molten salt reactor development and applications. The session will cover both fluoride and chloride salts. Each panelist will present a short presentation prior to an open Q&A session in which the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions, provide suggestions, and express their opinions. It is expected that the session will facilitate fruitful discussion between industry experts, researchers at national laboratories, and universities, including scientists, professors and students.
