The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) collaborates with China's Tsinghua University on research of High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) .
has there been enough evidence of this type of technology, of the particular design of this nuclear power plant to prove its efficacy? no, i don t think that is the case, because this is very much an evolution of the previous designs that have been operated, pressurised water reactors, and it is taking on board decades of experience of using these plants around the world. it is a very complex plant, and part of that complexity comes from inherent safety systems, that have got greater active components, where there is active intervention in the event of an issue, and also passive components, so that if there are power failures, that you do not get the sort of issues that you had at fukushima, with not being able to cool the reactor in the event of an outage. in response to the particular issue of the china plant, that was because of an issue with the fuel pins and the cladding of the fuel, and that is not specific to the reactor design, that could happen in
components, so that if there are power failures, components, so that if there are powerfailures, that components, so that if there are power failures, that you components, so that if there are powerfailures, that you do not get the sort of issues that you had at fukushima, with not being able to cool the reactor in the event of an outage. in response to the particular issue of the china plant, that was because of an issue with the fuel pins on the cladding of the fuel, and that is not specific to the reactor design, that could happen in any pwl reactor type. so i think, you know, the plants are now starting to come online and operate, there have been issues in the supply chain, ithink there have been issues in the supply chain, i think that is entirely right, there have been issues in relearning the experience, but part of it is to say, because we have had this hiatus in the build four nuclear, we are now far more reliant on gas, which has become very expensive, and if we had taken the
