Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4033277
Conceptual designs are presented of a VHTR 500 MW(t) helium cooled, pebble bed reactor (PBR) coupled separately to a steam generator, steam reformer or closed cycle gas turbine for the production of process steam, hydrogen, and/or electricity. An intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) between the reactor coolant and the process stream was a study requirement. Engineering feasibility, costs and the necessary development programs are presented.
