✦ Synopsis
Nuclear power has a great potential to develop in China because of China's fast economic increase. HTGR will be the most promising nuclear reactor to apply in the future Chinese market. After the initial criticality of the HTR-10, subsequent research and validation of the HTGR performance is by hot commissioning tests and power operation, safety demonstration experiments, R&D of gas turbine and process heat application technologies, and promotion of industrial application of HTGR technologies. The commercial prototype HTR-PM is under study and conceptual design has started. These activities will result in the safe and economic development of HTGR technologies in China.
