Conference Article: The essential trends of HGR development in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The up-to-day Russian concept of HTGR technology development is presented in paper. At present it reduces to the following: the modular HTGR measured up to modern safety requirements with pebble bed core and spherical fuel elements of up to 200 MW thermal power have being developed for production of process heat. For electricity production with maximal efficiency through gas turbine cycle the plant design with modular HTGR containing prismatic block annular core has being carried out. Conceptual design of GT-MHR reactor plant of 600 MW thermal, developing with General Atomics cooperation is the base of Russia activity in HTGR technology in current time
