TL;DR: In this paper, the design originalities of the GTHTR300 are a horizontally mounted highly efficient gas turbine system and an ultimately simplified safety system such as no containment building and no active emergency core cooling.

TL;DR: In this article, a gas turbine high temperature reactor of 300 MWe nominal capacity (GTHTR300) power plant, aiming at prototype demonstration in Japan during 2010s, is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, three test plans were set up to verify the design of the GTHTR300 power conversion system and establish key technologies of a closed-cycle helium gas turbine system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mock-up test facility was constructed to investigate transient behavior of the hydrogen production system and to establish system controllability, and a performance test was carried out in the same pressure and temperature conditions as those of the high temperature engineering test Reactor (HTTR).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the original design features focusing on the reactor core design and the in-core structure design, including the innovative coolant flow scheme for cooling the RPV.
