Used TES Challenger HT #9314603 for sale

TES Challenger HT is an advanced, Generation IV high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor (HTGR) developed by Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation. It is an innovative reactor design created to safely and efficiently generate reliable and clean electricity for decades. Challenger HT features a prismatic core design based around a 16-sided polygon graphite container, which houses the hundreds of fuel elements and control rods. This makes the reactor much easier to maintain and shields the actual reactor core from the environment while retaining an efficient and compact form. This design also produces a smaller amount of highly radioactive elements, making the reactor safer, more reliable and easier to manage. The reactor operates at extremely high temperatures of up to 850°C and uses helium gas as the primary coolant. Helium relies on convection to dissipate heat, which significantly reduces the risk of core damage and radioactivity leakage. The helium coolant also allows the reactor to maintain a higher efficiency and reduced power consumption compared to water-cooled reactors, making the reactor more environmentally friendly. The reactor includes integrated safety features such as an anti-scram shutdown system and more advanced control systems that greatly reduce the need for manual intervention. This ensures a smoother and more reliable operation, even during extreme operational conditions. The reactor contains advanced neutronic guidance systems and an innovative fuel-management system which provides full control over the reactor's nuclear fuel cycle. This ensures the reactor is operated safely over its expected lifespan of up to sixty years. TES Challenger HT is a highly advanced and efficient reactor created to provide a reliable and safe source of electricity for the future. The advanced safety features and high-temperature operation make it a much safer and efficient option compared to traditional nuclear reactors.
