=== Stratek Global ===
A Pretoria-based South African company created a variant of the PBMR reactor. The differences in the two reactors are the Stratek HTMR-100 reactor functions at a lower temperature (from 940°C to 750°C), the HTMR-100 reactor directs the heat into water to create steam in addition to being helium-cooled. The HTMR-100 reactor is also smaller, with an output of 35 MWe.<ref>{{Cite web |title=HTMR-100 team aim for pebble bed SMR in South Africa : New Nuclear - World Nuclear News |url=https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/HTMR-100-team-aim-for-PBMR-SMR-in-South-Africa |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=www.world-nuclear-news.org}}</ref>
