A 10 MW(th) HTGR test module, HTR-10 [89], is under construction since 1995 by the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University in Beijing. It is a pebble bed reactor with 27,000 spherical fuel elements and a coolant outlet temperature of 700 °C (later 950 °C). Its operation is expected to start end of 1999. 

The Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, China conducted developments of a multipurpose small reactor (200 MW(tii)). The reactor can be installed into a ship, and can be used for seawater desalination, electricity and heat production. The basic innovating features are as follows ... 

For the licensing of the construction permit (CP) of the HTR-10 test reactor, the licensing authority is the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) which is technically backed up by Suzhou Nuclear Safety Center and Beijing Nuclear Safety Center The applicant is the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology of Tsinghua University...

The site of HTR-10 is located in the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET). INET is a national nuclear research center, founded in the early 1960 s. It has about 620 employees and more than 20 divisions and laboratories of various disciplines, most of which are related to the research and development of nuclear technology. INET itself is located in the northwestern suburb of Beijing city, about 40 km from the city center. 

The Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (MET) of Tsinghua University performed the conceptual design of the 10-MWth HTGR test module (HTR-10) in 1990 (Steinwarz and Xu, 1990), and 2 years later the constmction of HTR-10 was approved by the State Council. Supported by the Chinese 863 Program, the...
