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.

Neutral beams are injected into fusion devices through narrow transition ducts that are permeated by strong magnetic fields. As a result, the beam particles that undergo reionizing collisions with thermal gas molecules within the duct are deflected by the magnetic field onto the duct wall. This phenomena in conjunction with other related effects has been responsible for significant reduction in the amount of beam power reaching the plasma. This paper describes the development of a self-consistent beam transport model that was extensively used in the design of neutral beam injector system for the TDF central cell.
