U-Battery

The U-Battery project, initiated in 2008, is a UK consortium project based around a prismatic HTGR microreactor design, led by Urenco. Recent updates from Urenco suggest the project has since been suspended.

U-Battery is a primarily British consortium of companies including Urenco, Rolls Royce, and others working on a micro small modular reactor, largely for industrial power applications. The gas-cooled reactor would have an electrical power output of 4MW. IDTechEx attended a roundtable with the U-Battery team.
