UK Priorities Very High Temp gas-cooled Reactor - Logical progression from BNFL’s interest in PBMR and gas-cooled technology for thermal reactors Gas-cooled Fast Reactor - Logical progression for gas cooled reactor technology for fast reactors Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor - Maintain capability to understand & evaluate liquid-metal cooled fast reactor systems as well as utilise historic UK knowledge

PBMR fuel

Heat applications & temperatures

Thermo-chemical process - Hydrogen generation without CO 2 production Best option for H 2 production via nuclear is thermo- chemical process. Process consumes water, & high temperature heat. Releases only H 2, O 2 & low temperature heat. All reagents are recycled

The hydrogen economy brings opportunities for all energy sources Nuclear reactor Hydrogen Production (eg electrolysis or thermo- chemical splitting of water) energy Fuel cell
