Description
Active magnetic bearings have been selected for the main and shutdown circulators of the Modular High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR). This paper describes the active magnetic bearing system, its development status and its advantages and disadvantages. The reasons for selecting active magnetic bearings for the MHTGR are discussed together with the development status. Finally, the generic applicability of magnetic bearings to the power industry is reviewed
