France's Newcleo has halted its UK programme for lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) and is significantly reducing its UK operations. This decision stems from a strategic review focused on prioritizing areas that enhance the development of advanced modular reactor (AMR) technologies and closed fuel cycles. The shift emphasizes the company's commitment to regions that support the reuse of spent nuclear fuel, reflecting a broader strategy to align with evolving nuclear energy demands.
