Part 2 of 2 Parts (Please read Part 1 first)
     Here are the recommendations of the position paper.  
Recommendation 1: The U.K. published an Energy White Paper that mentioned a demonstration reactor. Considering the current state of development of U.K. and world advanced modular reactor (AMR) technology, it is recommended that the demonstration reactor should feature high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) technology, Major consideration should be given to demonstrating hydrogen generation using nuclear heat.
Recommendation 2: A suitable body that is equipped and empowered to deliver the HTGR project should be given the task of specifying, developing and pursuing the path to a U.K.-based HTGR demonstrator. This project would include directing all the research and development that is required to define an optimum route, monitoring whether and how these optima change as the studies proceed, and re-optimizing programs as needed.
Recommendation 3:  Research and development of closed nuclear fuel cycles should be continued to allow the U.K. to follow developments in these systems and to gauge whether, or when, such systems will find a place in the U.K. energy market.
Recommendation 4: The U.K. should maintain an ongoing view of developments in AMR systems. This should be led by a body that is not conflicted by claims and lobbying by any particular system proposer. The Generic Feasibility Assessment has provided an excellent example of a platform that could host this task. However, a suitable ‘interest-free” organization would have to be established with exemplary peer review.
Recommendation 5: A suitable broadly-based advisory body should be found to provide advice to the government on the forward nuclear program. The Nuclear Innovation Research and Advisory Board (NIRAB) or a successor could fill this role. NIRAB appears to have established the possible extent and value of such advice.
Recommendation 6: The Climate Change Committee should research, with suitable assistance, the possibilities of a wider role for nuclear in the net-zero path.
Recommendation 7:  The Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is an independent, not-for-profit, organization for industry, government, academia and research. It should benefit from other modeling expertise in setting up and running transparent level playing field models to monitor economic developments. This should motivate improvements and detect unrealistic optimism.
Recommendation 8:  A platform similar to that in Recommendation 4 should be established for all energy sources present in the net-zero path to provide a clear and unbiased view of the current status of net zero.
     The fact that the government has set out on a thirty-year action plant is a great reason for optimism according to the position paper. However, implementation of nuclear energy “where appropriate and advantageous” must avoid being “side-lined by unsupported hyperbole”.
      The position paper says that “It is to be hoped that the ‘best for the UK, best for the planet’ message can be turned into reality. Regarding timescales, the present situation is crucial, with any delays immediately manifesting themselves on the critical path for a nuclear demonstrator by 2030, and by inference the strong prospect of negatively impacting the 2050 deadline.”
