Conference Article: The HTR safety concept demonstrated by selected examples

Sommer, H.; Stoelzl, D. (Hochtemperatur-Reaktorbau G.m.b.H., Mannheim (Germany, F.R.))

Abstract

The licensing experience gained in the Federal Republic of Germany is based on the licensing procedures for the THTR-300 and the HTR-1160. In the course of the licensing procedures for these reactors a safety concept for an HTR has been developed. This experience constitutes the basis for the design of future HTR's.
