"The companies X-energy and Centrica plans to build up to 12 small modular reactors in Hartlepool in northeast England, with a follow-on U.K.-wide program targeting a fleet of six gigawatts of power. Holtec, EDF and Tritax will seek to develop advanced data centers powered by small modular reactors at a former coal-fired power station in Nottinghamshire in eastern England. Last Energy and DP World will establish "one of the world's first micro modular nuclear power plants""
"In addition, Urenco and Radiant are to sign a $4.6 million deal to supply High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for advanced reactors to the U.S. market. The partnership between the countries aims to to eliminate any dependence on Russian nuclear material by the end of 2028. Currently, Russia produces the only HALEU for commercial use. And TerraPower and KBR plan to study and evaluate sites in the U.K. for deployment of the Natrium advanced reactor technology."
Deals between the U.S. and U.K. will expand nuclear cooperation and streamline company ability to build new plants. X-energy and Centrica plan up to 12 small modular reactors at Hartlepool with a U.K.-wide follow-on program targeting six gigawatts. Holtec, EDF and Tritax plan advanced data centers powered by SMRs at a former Nottinghamshire coal station. Last Energy and DP World will deploy a micro modular plant to power London Gateway expansion. Urenco and Radiant will provide HALEU to the U.S. market. The partnership aims to eliminate dependence on Russian nuclear material by end of 2028. TerraPower and KBR will evaluate U.K. sites for Natrium deployment, and a Global Fusion Energy Policy Summit will be hosted next year.
