Exner, R. (Balcke-Duerr AG, Ratingen (Germany))

Abstract

The task of the HTR-100 steam generator is to transfer the heat quantity generated in the reactor to the secondary circuit and to convey the live steam on to the steam turbine plant. In addition to its task of transferring the heat quantity generated in the reactor core to the secondary circuit under the stipulated operating conditions (40 years) the steam generator also has to fulfill decisive tasks in connection with the safety of the plant. The problem involved with these new types of components are analyzed in the paper and the structural solutions to achieve feasibility explained.
