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.

Muons, Inc. was formed two decades ago by scientists from national labs to develop a muon collider, the next "atom smasher" to follow the Large Hadron Collider, Since then, Muons has supported 18 postdocs and 7 Ph.D. candidates under DOE contracts and SBIR-STTR grants to develop new technologies and applications for particle accelerators. We are enthusiastic proponents of superconducting rf proton accelerators to drive subcritical molten-salt reactors to deal with the spent fuel from nuclear reactors using a concept called Mu*STAR. We have applied for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program ARC-20 to develop a Mu*STAR Conceptual Design Report over the next three years and are looking for people to join us in this adventure.
