High-temperature engineering test reactor
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use dmy dates The high-temperature engineering test reactor (HTTR) is a graphite-moderated gas-cooled research reactor in Ōarai, Ibaraki, Japan operated by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. It uses long hexagonal fuel assemblies, unlike the competing pebble bed reactor designs.
HTTR first reached its full design power of 30 MW (thermal) in 1999. Other tests have shown that the core can reach temperatures sufficient for hydrogen production via the sulfur-iodine cycle.[1]
Technical details
The primary coolant is helium gas at a pressure of about Script error: No such module "convert"., the inlet temperature of Script error: No such module "convert"., and the outlet temperature of Script error: No such module "convert".. The fuel is uranium oxide (enriched to an average of about 6%).
