US-based Jacobs’ nuclear laboratories in Warrington, northern England, will carry out research and development work related to two new advanced modular reactors being developed by U-Battery Developments Ltd and Westinghouse Electric Company UK.
U-Battery and Westinghouse have progressed to phase two of a competition run by the UK government to promote technological innovation. The government is investing £40m to develop designs for advanced modular reactors that will generate low-cost electricity by introducing novel cooling techniques and off-site factory fabrication.
