VGM modular gas cooled reactors have been developed in Russia for production of electricity and high temperature process heat. Experimental facilities have been constructed and operated to substantiate the safe behaviour of the VGM reactor to accidental air or water ingress. Also, computer programmes have been developed to predict reactor response to these conditions.
