Abstract
Modern HTR designs in Germany like the HTR-Module and the HTR 500, rely on 30 years of research and development, on more than 20 years of successful AVR operation and testing, and on the experience gained from THTR. Due to this broad developing program, HTR technology in Germany has reached a high level of maturity. Nevertheless, as in any other technical area the development is going on steadily: novel materials and techniques, higher general safety requirements, and the advanced reactor designs inspire and require additional investigations. With regard to the components and systems, the work is concentrated on simpler and more economical solutions. In the safety field it is necessary to achieve a quality for the proofs sufficiently high for licensing procedures and a clear demonstration of the key safety features.
