The second design consists of a 2 × 250 MW th reactor plant; each reactor has a one-zone cylindrical core. The Chinese HTR-10 is a one-zone pebble-bed reactor in a side-by-side arrangement of rector and steam generator. Hence, the design of a 2 × 250 MW th plant of two one-zone reactors is regarded as a mere up-scaling of the HTR-10 …
