Present status of HTTR project in Japan

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokai, Ibaraki (Japan). HTTR Designing Lab.

Description

In Japan, the research and development on the HTR had been carried out for more than fifteen years as the multi-purpose VHTR program for direct utilization of nuclear process heat such as nuclear steel making. Recently, reflecting the change of social and energy situation and with no incentives for industries to introduce such in the near future, the JAERI has changed them for more basic 'HTTR program' to establish the HTR technology basis and upgrade them. At the request of the STA the Reactor Safety Research Association has reviewed the safety evaluation guideline and started the work on the establishment of general design criteria and design code or guide for graphite and high-temperature structure of the HTTR. Construction permit of the HTTR will be issued by the Government early in 1990. (orig./DG)
