This paper describes the conceptual design of a 600MW HTGR-GT power plant which has been completed in the framework of the HTGR-GT feasibility study project. The project is assigned to JAERI by the Science and Technology Agency in Japan. The inlet and outlet gas temperatures in the reactor are 460°C and 850°C, respectively. Helium gas pressure is 6MPa. The gas turbine system type is intercooled recuperative direct cycle. Designs of helium turbine, LP and HP compressors and generator are presented. Efforts have been focussed on reducing their dimensions and weight in the preliminary design to facilitate the mechanical design of the rotor and also reduce the size of power conversion vessel. Rotor dynamics behavior and maintenance procedures of the horizontal single-shaft configuration adopted are explained.
