IWGGCR--9: Heat exchanging components of gas-cooled reactors

Specialists' meeting on heat exchanging components of gas-cooled reactors Duesseldorf (Germany) 16-19 Apr 1984

International Atomic Energy Agency, International Working Group on Gas-Cooled Reactors, Vienna (Austria), IWGGCR--9

Abstract

The objective of the Meeting sponsored by IAEA was to provide a forum for the exchange and discussion of technical information related to heat exchanging and heat conducting components for gas-cooled reactors. The technical part of the meeting covered eight subjects: Heat exchanging components for process heat applications, design and requirements, and research and development programs. Status of the design and construction of intermediate He/He exchangers. Design, construction and performance of steam generators. Metallic materials and design codes. Design and construction of valves and hot gas ducts. Description of component test facilities and test results. Manufacturing of heat exchanging components.
