[en] The Swedish AB Atomenergi held a HTR Information Seminar in Stockholm on January 11, 1978. At this seminar the status of the High Temperature Reactor development program in the Federal Republic of Germany was presented in a series of papers. This report containing the papers in english language makes the information also available to other parties outside Germany who are interested in the HTR development. The papers deal with the German HTR-program, the experience from construction and operation of HTR-plants, the HTR-technology, especially the nuclear system and its application for power production and process heat, the nuclear coal gasification and nuclear long distance energy transport, the HTR fuel cycles, the safety of HTR plants and nuclear process heat plants, an economic evaluation of the HTR as a power plant and/or source of process heat and the introduction strategy of this reactor system in the FRG. The review represents the status at the beginning of 1978. (orig.)
