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.

What's in a Name? Making the case for America's state-of-the-art facilities State-of-the-art facilities attract talent, creativity and collaboration. Without sustained investment, America's scientific infrastructure cannot support world-class learning, research or technology commercialization. This session aims to distinguish development from deployment activities and to articulate the particular contributions that universities, national laboratories and private companies make to assert American leadership in the global nuclear enterprise.
