Acknowledgments
Firstly, I would like to thank my research group (Collaborative Innovation Center of
Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Institute of Nuclear and New Energy
Technology (INET) at Tsinghua University), Prof. Zuoyi Zhang (Dean of INET), Prof.
Yujie Dong (Deputy Dean of INET), and all colleagues of Key Laboratory of
Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety, who have participated in the compilation of
this book. It is because of your unremitting support that this book is completed.
It is of great pleasure to work with such an excellent research team, with regular
discussion and exchange of ideas, sharing of the project progress, and helping each
other unsparingly. This book is the result of our team effort. Thanks for your contribution in revising the first draft, sharing your opinions, and putting forward so many
valuable suggestions.
Secondly, I would like to thank all the people and organizations who have
supported this book and our research, in particular, the support from the national
major science and technology project (2011ZX06901-003), National High
Technology Research and Development Program of China (863) (2014AA052701),
as well as Tsinghua University Press and Springer Nature. The publication of this
book is inseparable from your contribution.
Thanks to all prior works cited in this book, from which we obtained countless
inspiration. These inspirational works have laid the foundation and are of great
value to our research.
Finally, I would like to thank all the researchers, designers, and regulators involved
in the research project of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. We are looking
forward to the continued joint efforts to contribute to the future development of HTGR.
