The High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor represents a suitable concept of a future nuclear power plant with efficient and economic and safe generation of energy. Its potential to produce process heat at high temperatures can be utilized in many industrial processes for the generation of hydrogen or other synthetic chemical fuels, which may find broadening application on the future world energy markets.The paper includes a description of the German long-term projects "Prototype Nuclear Process Heat Reactor Project" (PNP), in which the technical feasibility of an HTGR in combination with coal gasification processes has been proven, and "Nuclear Long Distance Energy Transportation" (NFE), a verification and demonstration of the closed-cycle, energy transmission system EVA/ADAM.But also the new research activities in Europe encouraged and supported by the Commission of the European Union within their Framework Programmes will be outlined. The Michelangelo Network (MICANET) has been created in 1997 by 19 European partners to elaborate a general European R&D strategy for the further development of the nuclear industry with a strong focus on innovative nuclear reactor designs. The Hydrogen Network (HYNET) established in 1999 is working on the development of strategies for the introduction of a European hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Both networks are paving the way for subsequent proposals for EU supported research projects such as V/HTR, HYSAFE, INNOHYP. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
