DESIGN, FEATURES, AND ENGINEERING STATUS OF THE THTR 300 MWe PROTOTYPE POWER STATION
Brown Boveri/Krupp Reaktorbau Ltd. is developing a line of high-temperature helium-cooled pebble-bed reactors, with completely integrated primary system. The feasibility of the concept has been demonstrated by the AVR experimental reactor, which has been supplying electricity to the grid since December 1967. The next stage in the development is the 300 MWe THTR, which has the same design characteristics as the AVR. However, various components were modified because of the increased dimensions of the THTR, such as the prestressed concrete pressure vessel, The design of the THTR, its safety concept, and supporting development tests are described, as well as the status of engineering and construction arrangements.
