Japan gets closer to making pink hydrogen with a 30MWth high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear test reactor #HTGR feeding 950C heat to thermochemical sulfur-iodine #hydrogen cycle.
After making carbon-free hydrogen, remaining heat will be used in a bottoming cycle for electricity production, water desalination, and district heating.

How #Germany’s Troubled #PebbleBed #NuclearReactor Came Of Age In #China
#Nuclear has been core of China’s energy policy with #HTGR designs being one of many pieces needed to make things work. Alongside foreign light- & heavy-water designs ranging from US AP1000s and Russian VVERs to Canadian CANDU PHWR, China sought to gain experience with as many reactor designs as possible/ With the #HTR10 as the first #PBR design, it would prove stepping stone for following prototypes
