The conceptual design and analysis performed by General Atomic Company for the US Department of Energy on the direct cycle gas turbine high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (GT-HTGR) are described. Three GT-HTGR plant concepts were studied: 1200-MW(e) three-loop non-intercooled cycle, 1200-MW(e) two-loop intercooled cycle, and 600-MW(e) one-loop intercooled cycle (demonstration plant). General Atomic co-operated with the German/Swiss HHT project on the development of the GT-HTGR concept in the areas of systems analysis, safety and accident analysis, and PCRV-liner-internals design.
