The High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor or HTGR is a gas cooled nuclear reactor that is fuelled with a mixture of graphite and spherical fuel particles. This reactor type has been developed already in the 1950s and interested in it has since have its ups and downs. Recently there has been renewed interest to the technology, and the modern version of the reactor is often referred as Very high temperature reactor.
