Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology INET

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 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. 

In the institute of nuclear and new energy technology (INET) of Tsinghua University, CHINA, a high temperature gas cooled reactor, HTR-10, has been constructed and reached criticality in 2000. In...
