Structural design of ceramic internals of HTR-10 Original Research Article

This article describes the structural design requirements, structural arrangement and structural features of the ceramic and metallic internals of the 10 MW high-temperature gas-cooled reactor-test module (HTR-10). The graphite properties used in the ceramic internals are provided, along with the results of an operating stress analysis of the graphite components and the metallic components. Satisfactory results were obtained for the machining and installation of the ceramic components and the stress analysis of the graphite and metallic components of HTR-10.
