High temperature gas-cooled reactor program. Advanced systems concepts design and technology development plan

Technical Report · Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 EDT 1983

OSTI ID:6768776

This document provides the Design and Technology Development Plan for the two Modular Reactor Systems (MRS) being studied: a HTGR-MRS-Reformer system to convert methane gas to synthesis gas (H/sub 2/ and CO) and also generate electric power, and an HTGR-MRS-Steam Cycle system to supply direct steam for electric power generators and/or process heat. The specific systems addressed by this plan consist of reactor fuel, reactor system, lower vessel, upper vessel reformer, upper vessel steam cycle, and the balance of plant. Base technology areas addressed are reformer catalyst, coolant chemistry, materials, and safety and licensing.
