高温气冷堆（HTGR）由于其产生高温氦气的能力和其固有的安全特性而特别有吸引力。高温工程试验堆（HTTR）是日本第一座高温气冷堆，于2004年4月19日达到30兆瓦的额定热功率和950°C的反应堆出口冷却剂温度。在高温试验运行期间，即升功率试验的最后阶段，确认了反应堆特性和反应堆性能，并监测了反应堆运行，以证明运行的安全性和稳定性。950°C的反应堆出口冷却剂温度使高温气冷反应堆的使用范围扩大到电力领域之外成为可能。此外，利用高温气体涡轮机的高效发电成为可能，从水中产生氢也是如此。950°C的实现将为实现使用高温气冷堆从水中生产氢气做出重大贡献。本报告描述了HTTR高温试验运行的结果。
A High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is particularly attractive due to its capability of producing high-temperature helium gas and to its inherent safety characteristics. The High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR), which is the first HTGR in Japan, achieved its rated thermal power of 30 MW and reactor-outlet coolant temperature of 950°C on 19 April 2004. During the high-temperature test operation which is the final phase of the rise-to-power tests, reactor characteristics and reactor performance were confirmed, and reactor operations were monitored to demonstrate the safety and stability of operation. The reactor-outlet coolant temperature of 950°C makes it possible to extend high-temperature gas-cooled reactor use beyond the field of electric power. Also, highly effective power generation with a high-temperature gas turbine becomes possible, as does hydrogen production from water. The achievement of 950°C will be a major contribution to the actualization of producing hydrogen from water using the high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. This report describes the results of the high-temperature test operation of the HTTR.
