This paper presents the cost performance design of heat transport piping systems for GTHTR300C plant and HTTR-GT/H plant. Two types of pipe structure are designed and compared in terms of cost performance. Relative to the coaxial double-pipe structure, the insulated single pipe structure is found to have the advantage in overall cost performance considering both the material quantity and the heat loss because it reduces the quantity of steel used for construction. Furthermore it is possible to reduce the heat loss and temperature reduction of hot helium gas by the attachment of the external insulation. The pressure tube made of type-316 stainless steel with high-temperature strength is possible to achieve the same temperature reduction by smaller diameter than that made of 2 1/4Cr-1Mo steel. It contributes to the reduction of the quantity of steel. Specifications of heat transport piping systems for both plants are determined according to these study results.

Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute is carrying out the research and development of the high temperature gas-cooled reactor hydrogen cogeneration system (GTHTR300C) aiming at the practical use around 2030. Preconditions of GTHTR300C introduction are the increase of hydrogen demand and the needs of new nuclear power plants. In order to establish the introduction scenario, it should be clarified that the operational status of existing nuclear power plants, the introduction number of fuel cell vehicles as a main user of hydrogen and the capability of hydrogen supply by existing plants. In this report, the estimation of the nuclear power plants that will be decommissioned with a high possibility by 2030 and the selection of the model district where the GTHTR300C can be introduced as an alternative system are conducted. Then the hydrogen demand and the capability of hydrogen supply in this district are investigated and the hydrogen supply scenario in 2030 is considered.

The HTTR (High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor) at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute's Oarai Research Establishment attained its maximum reactor-outlet coolant temperature of 950
C in April 2004 and ready to connect nuclear heat for industrial applications. The hydrogen production system by thermochemical water-splitting Iodine Sulphur cycle is also developing and succeeded to produce 30 normal L/h hydrogen in a closed cycle in June 2004.
