The Nuclear Industry Association has applied to the UK government for a justification decision for Newcleo's lead-cooled fast reactor, the LFR-AS-200. Such a decision is required for the operation of a new nuclear technology in the country.
Newcleo has signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK's Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre to collaborate on manufacturability, supply chain and development studies for its small modular lead-cooled fast reactor technology.
