in a recirculating mode. Each pebble contains many small tristructural-isotropic
(TRISO) fuel particles (Fig. 1.1). To study such reactors, the HTR-10 was built in
2000, at the INET of Tsinghua university (Fig. 1.2) [22]. It reached the criticality
in 2000, and its full-power operation started in 2003. The excellent characteristics
