The British government announced on Friday that it was awarding funding of £40-million for the development of advanced modular nuclear reactors (AMRs) and associated technologies. This was part of the UK’s programme to develop new and low-carbon industries and energy sources, thereby creating both research and development (R&D) and manufacturing jobs across the country. Three companies were each awarded about £10-million to develop their AMR projects. Another £5-million was going to strengthen the UK’s nuclear regulatory regime. And the remaining £5-million was being split between about ten companies to fund smaller nuclear-related R&D, design and manufacturing projects.
