DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE THERMAL REACTORS IN GERMANY

摘要

The first efforts for the development of high temperature thermal reactors in Germany started about 10 years ago. Since that time many important results have been obtained. The success of these efforts is best being reflected in the actual projects :n— The AVR pebble bed reactor has been completed and the critical experiments have been performed ;n— The work for the development of gas turbines for use with high temperature reactors reached a point where tenders have been submitted for a 25 MWe closed-cycle gas turbine prototype plant ;n— The THTR-Project for the development of a 300 MWe prototype reactor representative of full-scale power plants up to 1200 MWe shall provide final design documents by the end of 1967.nDetailed results of these three projects will be transmitted and an outlook on the further development with special regard to the potential for conversion and breeding will be given.
