What Does AGR Stand For?
AGR stands for Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor
AGR, or Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor, is a type of nuclear reactor that utilizes carbon dioxide as a coolant and graphite as a moderator. Developed in the United Kingdom, AGRs are designed for high thermal efficiency and low emissions, making them a significant part of the nuclear energy landscape. They produce electricity through nuclear fission while ensuring safety and sustainability in energy production.
