Very High Temperature Reactor
A high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR), is a nuclear reactor that uses a graphite-moderated reactor, graphite moderator with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. The HTGR is a type of high-temperature reactor (HTR) that can conceptually have an outlet temperature of . The nuclear reactor core, reactor core can be either a "prismatic block" (reminiscent of a conventional reactor core) or a "Pebble-bed reactor, pebble-bed" core. The high temperatures enable applications such as process heat or hydrogen production via the thermochemical sulfur–iodine cycle. The HTR is the predecessor of the Very-high-temperature reactor (VHTR), one of the future Generation IV reactor-models, which initially would work with temperatures of 750 to 950 °C. Overview The HTGR is a type of high-temperature reactor that conceptually can reach high outlet temperatures (up to 750 °C). There are two main types of HTGRs: pebble bed reactors (PBR) and prismatic block reactors (PMR).The pri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
