As a long-term clean energy system, it has been pointed out for years that direct application of nuclear process heat could be effectively carried out by introduction of the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute has been promoting a research and development program on the experimental VHTR since 1969 for the direct use of reactor process heat. 5 refs.
