  2. THTR Circular No. 88 February 04

    Oarai started construction of a 30 MW HTTR. This reactor is not intended for generating electricity, but rather for providing process heat. The aim is to promote the use of higher temperatures in HTRs by investigating the direct application of high-temperature heat via a helium intermediate heat exchanger. The building was completed in 1996 except for the camp for burned...

  3. The incident at the THTR in May 1986 in 'Spiegel'

    But the THTR, again due to its different technical principle, should be superior to the common nuclear reactors in two respects: the helium gas brought to such high temperatures in the reactor would, unlike the coolant water, not only be used to generate electricity, but also as so-called process heat - for example for coal liquefaction or for other...

    of incident control. In addition, a core meltdown accident like that in the light water reactor is ruled out because graphite does not melt, but sublimates at around 3500 o C, i.e. at temperatures that cannot be achieved in small and medium-sized high-temperature reactors anyway. To generalize, it is then claimed that no accident sequence is possible with the HTR, in which...

  6. 1986 - Lothar Hahn on the subject of safety at HTR

    but it misses the real problem. It is not primarily about the possibility of core meltdown, but rather about the question of whether and how radioactive fission products can be released. At temperatures above 1600o C, noticeable proportions of fission products are released from the fuel particles and from the fuel elements. At even higher temperatures this effect increases...

    "At the moment no one is producing the necessary graphite balls anymore." In addition, there is a particular danger from a possible ingress of air into the helium cycle - which could burn the graphite balls like charcoal at high temperatures." The editor also refers to efforts in the USA to increasingly promote the HTR as a "Very High Temperature Reactor" in order to additionally produce "hydrogen...

    that after the reactor has been shut down, even in the worst case scenario (low pressure), such a high power can be delivered from the core to a cylindrically surrounding surface cooler that the temperatures of the core structures remain below 1500° C throughout the entire accident. This means that the inclusion of the fuel is not jeopardized by the release of the decay power." (p....
