Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Research Development &
Demonstration (RD&D) Phase B Competition Privacy
Notice
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/beis-advanced-modular-reactor-amr-research-development-demonstration-rdd-phase-b-competition-privacy-notice
Details
The AMR RD&D programme
aims to demonstrate High Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) technology by the
early 2030s, in time for any potential
commercial AMRs to support net zero by 2050.
This HTGR demonstration,
which will be sited in the UK, should be shaped by end-user
requirements, and should incentivise private investment
in HTGRs by removing technical risk. It should have
innovation at the centre of its design, build, and application.
A matched grant award will fund up to 2 successful projects, to a
maximum government contribution of up to £27.5 million each, to
develop detailed FEED+ studies to bring
the UK closer to a HTGR demonstration by
the early 2030s.
Eligibility and assessment criteria
Phase B of this programme is open to all. You do not have to have
applied to, or been successful in, Phase A. The full eligibility
criteria for this funding are set out in section 9 of the
guidance notes.
The full assessment criteria are set out in section 10 of the
guidance notes.

Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Knowledge Capture
Project
Separately BEIS is providing up to £4 million funding for the
Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Knowledge Capture Project,
as a complementary project to the AMR Research, Development
and Demonstration (RD&D)
programme.
The project seeks to facilitate knowledge capture and sharing to
reduce the time, risk, and cost of AMR RD&D programme
delivery, and provide UK organisations with valuable knowledge to
leverage against international funding:
Background
The AMR RD&D programme
is part of the £385 million Advanced Nuclear Fund, and is aligned
with the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP) which aims to
accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy
technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s.
To support Phase B, BEIS will provide up to £5 million funding to
the UK nuclear regulators, the Office for Nuclear Regulation
(ONR) and the
Environment Agency (EA),
to provide the successful projects with early engagement in order
to support and inform the development of the technologies.
