The government is seeking views on a proposal to explore high temperature gas reactors – HTGRs – as the most promising model for an advanced modular reactor demonstration programme.

A Call for Evidence, published on July 29, 2021, sets out the government’s suggested approach to building the first AMR for the programme, which is being backed with £170m for delivery in the early 2030s.
AMRs are typically smaller than conventional nuclear power stations, more flexible, and could be built at a fraction of a cost. As well as generating electricity, HTGRs will also generate low-carbon hydrogen and produce extremely high temperatures to power district heating networks by the 2040s.
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
