The Department for Business, Energy, & Industrial Strategy has launched a Call for Evidence on the potential of high temperature gas reactors to support the Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Research, Development & Demonstration (RD&D) programme, underpinned by a NIRO report on Advanced modular reactors (AMRs): technical assessment
In the 2020 Annual Report NIRAB recommended an appropriate down selection of AMR technologies for a reactor demonstrator should be completed as soon as possible, and considers that High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) are the technology that is most likely to be developed and be commercially available to make a significant contribution to meeting net zero 2050 targets.
