The Concerted Action "Assessment of safety and innovative technology for an HTR power generating plant (INNOHTR)" is funded by the European Commission within its 4th RTD Framework Programme. It is a joint project of four European nuclear industry organisations and five European research centres. This paper presents the preliminary conclusions of the INNOHTR Concerted Action. It addresses existing experience in designing, building, and operating HTRs in the areas of fuel reactor core, and plant systems. It also addresses the need for additional research and development to support forthcoming industrial prototypes as well as for long term advanced system development. Specific areas of development are recommended along with the need for international cooperation.
