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.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory addresses compelling challenges in delivering carbon-free fusion and fission energy systems. The lab traces its roots to the X-10 Graphite Reactor, the world’s first continuously operated nuclear reactor, and to early innovations in fusion research and engineering.
ORNL has unique facilities for materials research and high performance computing that support our scientists and engineers in addressing challenges such as extended operations of the current US nuclear reactor fleet; investigating economical and flexible advanced reactor systems; and making fusion energy a viable power source.
ORNL also leads US ITER, which is responsible for designing, fabricating, and delivering hardware systems for the international ITER fusion project that will demonstrate 500 MW of fusion power. The directorate also leads the Transformational Challenge Reactor program, which leverages advanced manufacturing for rapid and economical deployment of nuclear technologies, and the Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), a future world-leading capability that will produce the extreme plasma environments to test materials for use in fusion energy devices.
