Abstract
The 10MW high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR-10) is a modular pebble-bed type reactor, of which the inlet and outlet helium temperature are 250 and 700 °C, respectively. It reached to its first criticality in December, 2000, and operated for nearly twenty years successfully. Currently, HTR-10 is the only pebble-bed type high temperature gas-cooled reactor that can operate in the world. To verify the natural circulation operating characteristics and safety features of the passive residual heat removal system, a series of experimental studies have been performed under different operation conditions of HTR-10, which include the performance tests of the passive residual heat removal system under various reactor operating power, different ambient temperature and single loop run mode. According to the data collation and result analysis, it shows that the performance of the residual heat removal system in HTR-10 meets the design and safety requirements.
