High-temperature gas-cooled reactors Plants

Japanese industries including Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Fuji Electric, Toyo Tanso, Nuclear Fuel Industries, etc., are developing the HTGR jointly with JAEA. The industrial and public information exchange is supported by the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF), the Research Association of High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Plant (RAHP), etc.

The concept of HTGR (High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor) plant with Closed Cycle Gas turbine is taking an increasing interest because of its unique characteristics such as highly excellent safety and high thermal efficiency which reaches about 50 percents. The necessity of the demonstration test of the full scale power conversion module to be used in this plant has been pointed out. This paper presents a new proposal of demonstration test facility concept.
