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.

Molten salt chemistry is important for molten salt applications in molten salt reactors, pyrochemical separation as well as energy storage. The chemistry includes the fundamental properties of the salt, salt purification, material separation and impurity removal, and material corrosion and corrosion control. The panel will cover all those topics. Considering that both molten chloride and fluoride salts have significant applications in the nuclear field, the panel will cover both types of salt. We will invite international experts from universities and national laboratories (domestic and international) to be on the panel to present their understanding and recent progress in molten salt chemistry.
