Abstract

The 10MW High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor-Test Module (termed as HTR-10) is one of key project in the National High Technology Research and Development Program (1986-2000). Main objectives for the HTR-10 are:

  1. To acquire know-how to design, construct and operate the HTGRs,
  2. To establish an experimental facility,
  3. To demonstrate the inherent safety features of the Modular HTGR,
  4. To test electricity and heat co-generation and closed cycle gas turbine technology and
  5. To do research and development work for high temperature process heat application.
The Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University was appointed as the leading institute to be responsible for design, license applications, construction and operation of the HTR-10.
