Abstract

Various application studies of HTGR heat had been carried out in Japan for the temperature range between 850 deg. C to 950 deg. C, but very little interests have been given to HTGRs with 700 deg C-750 deg. C outlet temperature, which have been developed to commercial stage in USA and FRG. In this preliminary study, industrial application of HTFR with 700 deg. C outlet temperature investigated under the circumstance of Japanese industries based on the assumption that HTGRs with about 550 deg. C steam have been commercially available. The study was conducted as a part of the work of ''JAIF Study Group on Uses of Reactor Heat'', carried out from July 1990 to March 1991.
