📌 8.9 HTR-PM High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (67 MW)

The Shindao Bay Operating Data

Very little information is publicly available about the HTR-PM secondary circuit. The Shindao Bay model presented here was constructed from data visible in Figure 5 of Dong et al. (2025), which shows the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) of the plant’s coordinated control system. This operational dashboard displays helium, steam and feedwater temperatures, core power, electrical output, efficiency, power level, and mass flow rates.

Note: this model has not been validated by the original authors. Despite several requests, it has proven impossible to obtain direct information on the secondary circuit. The extraction pressures and flow rates were assumed; a polytropic efficiency of 70 % was applied to all turbine stages — the value that alone reproduces the announced electrical output of 64 MWe.

The discrepancies are significant. The plant was operating at approximately 80 % of rated power, which partially explains the reduced performance.

We provide here the two models, the first corresponding to the available experimental data, and the second to the nominal performance.
