Abstract

High temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) possesses excellent inherent safety, and the high quality steam from it can be used to meet the heating demand of petrochemical industry and so forth. The challenge for siting regulations and standards during the process of HTGR cogeneration project promotion is revealed in this article. Based on the analysis of mutual effects between HTGR and petrochemical industry user, it is believed that establishing the siting regulations and standards for HTGR cogeneration project is necessary. Combined with the domestic and oversea investigations, it is suggested that the siting regulations and standards establishment should take the technical advantages of HTGR into full account and focus on the coordination of different industry emergency systems. And a trinity concept of non-residential zone, restricted zone and emergency plan zone for the HTGR cogeneration project is proposed.
