- Abstract
Historical information concerning the development of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in the USA and Russia is presented. The reactor facilities MHTGR (USA), VG-400 (Russia), VGM (Russia), GT-MGR (Russia, USA), and at the Fort St. Vrain nuclear power plant (USA) are described. The US programs for developing innovative high-temperature nuclear reactor technologies are examined. It is shown that the Russian and US technological developments for the fuel, reactor system, energy conversion system, and fission-product transport are similar.
