Description

As the high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) can supply high-temperature gas to application systems, HTGR is expected to be applied for generating hydrogen, which will play a central role as a secondary energy source in the 21st century along with electricity. 　By HTGR, hydrogen can be generated without using fossil fuels, or at least with less fossil fuels. Also, HTGR is expected to be the heat source in the "closed cycle gas turbine power generation system". 　This paper describes HTGR, the differences from existing light-water reactors, the possibil­ity of its application and the current status of its development, introducing, as an example of HTGR, the high temperature engineering test reactor (HTTR) which is a Japanese test facility to demonstrate the feasibility of HTGR.
