Description

BEIS plans to procure work under Phase A of the Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Research, Development and Demonstration Programme. We have published this Prior Information Notice which sets out our intention to launch a formal Invitation To Tender (ITT) for Phase A in Spring 2022. Before we publish the ITT, we are carrying out market engagement on our proposed approach for the Programme which is set out in the indicative outline document below: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advanced-modular-reactor-amr-research.... Please note that the programme details are subject to change and may not reflect the final, published ITT. The aim of the Programme is to demonstrate that HTGRs can produce high temperature heat which could be used for low-carbon hydrogen production and process heat for industrial and domestic, as well as cost-competitive electricity generation, in time for any potential commercial AMRs to support Net Zero by 2050. The scope of Phase A aims to understand the potential size, type, cost and delivery method for a HTGR demonstration by allowing industry to propose options against the overarching Programme aim. Interested stakeholders should visit the link above for the indicative outline of the Programme and the opportunity to provide feedback.
