DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR COUPLING TECHNOLOGY BETWEEN HIGH TEMPERATURE GAS-COOLED REACTOR HTTR AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FACILITY:

(2) DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR COUPLING EQUIPMENT BETWEEN HTTR AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FACILITY

抄録

High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is expected to extend the use of nuclear heat to a wider spectrum of industrial applications such as hydrogen production, high efficiency power generation, etc., due largely to high temperature heat supply capability as well as inherent safe characteristics. Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) initiated the HTTR (High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor) heat application test plan to develop for coupling technology between HTGR and hydrogen production facility.

The principal objective of this test plan is to establish the high safety coupling technology for coupling a hydrogen production facility to HTGR utilizing the HTTR as a high temperature heat source. The other objective is to develop for coupling equipment required for coupling between HTGR and hydrogen production facility. This paper describes the overview of developing plan for coupling equipment required for coupling between HTGR and hydrogen production facility. The former one is described separately in the other paper, “(1) Overview of the HTTR Heat Application Test Plan to Establish High Safety Coupling Technology”.
