AMR) Research, Development & Demonstration (
RD&D) Demonstration programme, building on our commitment for an
AMR demonstration by the early 2030s at the latest, to prove the potential of the technology.
This research paper from the Nuclear Innovation & Research Office (
NIRO) presents an assessment of the most promising
AMR reactor technologies to identify the preferred choice of technology that could support UK objectives of meeting net zero climate change targets by 2050.
The analysis indicates that high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) are the preferred technology, with respect to the key objective of demonstrating the ability to generate high-temperature heat which could be used for:
Government progresses demonstration of next generation nuclear reactor
The UK government’s plan to have the latest nuclear technology up and running within the next decade has moved a step closer today as part of the drive to reach net zero emissions.
From:
Ministers consider high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) for £170 million Advanced Modular Reactor Demonstration Programme
as well as producing low carbon electricity for the grid, advanced modular reactors (AMRs) could produce clean hydrogen and high temperature heat to decarbonise heavy industry
government also announces pilot of new Advanced Nuclear Skills and Innovation Campus, as UK harnesses new and advanced nuclear technology to help UK reach net zero by 2050
Summary We are inviting views on the government’s preference to explore the potential of high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) to enable an AMR demonstration by the early 2030s, to support net zero by 2050. This consultation closes at

Potential of high temperature gas reactors to support the AMR R&D demonstration programme: call for evidence
The key objective for the Advanced Modular Reactor () Research, Development & Demonstration (RD&D) Programme is to demonstrate that can produce high-temperature heat which could be used for low-carbon hydrogen production, heat for industrial processes and domestic use and cost-competitive electricity generation, in time for any potential commercial to support net zero by 2050.
The Programme aims to enable an demonstration by the early 2030s to prove the potential of the technology.
are classed as the next generation of nuclear reactors as they use novel coolants and fuels and typically have higher temperature outputs and smaller power output per unit than more conventional operational today. This high temperature heat could help unlock the decarbonisation of several energy vectors such as efficient hydr
