Objective
Recent HTR designs take benefit of new core configurations that limit the maximum temperatures in core heat-up accidents without endangering the fission product retention capabilities of the coated-particle fuel. Such an annular core geometry has been realised in the Japanese HTTR for the first time. Calculations and experimental data on different core configurations allow for a verification and improvement of the analytical tools in connection with a sensitive study on the nuclear data base. The high burn-up potential of HTR fuel can be used for actinides burning and minimisation of long-lived radiotoxides. Different fuel strategies have to be analysed also with regard to core physics and nuclear stability. HTR-specific waste streams are quantified to identify waste reduction potentials. The long-term resistance of directly disposed HTR-fuel is investigated for different geologic conditions.
