IWGGCR--15: Technology of steam generators for gas-cooled reactors

Specialists' meeting on technology of steam generators for gas-cooled reactors Winterthur (Switzerland) 9-12 Mar 1987

International Atomic Energy Agency, International Working Group on Gas-Cooled Reactors, Vienna (Austria), IWGGCR--15

Abstract

The activity of the IAEA in the field of the technology of gas-cooled reactors was formalized by formation of an International Working Group on Gas-Cooled Reactors (IWGCR). The gas cooled reactor program considered by the IWGCR includes carbon-dioxide-cooled thermal reactors, helium cooled thermal high temperature reactors for power generation and for process heat applications and gas-cooled fast breeder reactors. This report covers the papers dealing with operating experience, steam generators for next generation of gas-cooled reactors, material development and corrosion problems, and thermohydraulics.
