The principal purpose of the Pegass reactor (30 Mw) is to test in real operating conditions fuel elements designed for gas-cooled power reactors. The basic criteria of the design are explained. Several autonomous loops can be located around a very concentrated core; they are removable: a tested fuel element can be removed without andy notable effect on reactor operation; this presents possibilities never before obtained in a research reactor.
