Report of the 1st technical meeting on high temperature gas-cooled reactors

The 1st Technical Meeting on High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) was held on February 1 and 2, 1990 in the Tokai Research Establishment in order to review the results of R and D associated with the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) accumulated so far in the JAERI and to investigate how to promote the further R and D on high temperature engineering and examination. From the point of view for establishing and upgrading the technology basis of HTGRs, the R and D results obtained so far and the present status of R and D were reviewed for the key items in the meeting, and the R and D items to be investigated positively and items of international cooperation to be promoted in future were discussed based on the comments and suggestions offered by the experts outside the JAERI. This report summarizes the papers which were presented on each subject of R and D in the meeting along with the comments and suggestions by the experts outside the JAERI. The results of the meeting will be reflected effectively for promoting the R and D on the high temperature engineering and examination. (author)
