Member States of the IAEA have pursued activities focused on developing high temperature gas cooled reactors (HTGRs) with an aim to build innovative nuclear fuel cycles and reactor systems for high temperature applications such as hydrogen production, apart from electricity generation. This publication documents the knowledge and experience in the development of HTGRs gained over fifty years and will serve as a basis for further development of fuels and reactor systems.
