ABSTRACT:
A system for increasing the temperature of a fluid heated by a high temperature gas cooled nuclear reactor to a sufficient temperature to supply the heat of reaction for a high temperature chemical process. The system includes a secondary loop having a working fluid heated to a first temperature by the nuclear reactor, and has a heat pump connected in the secondary loop and adapted to increase and thereby augment the temperature of the working fluid in the secondary loop sufficiently to supply the heat of reaction for a high temperature chemical process such as in a reformer. The system also provides low temperature heat in the form of steam which may be used in a turbine to provide power to the compressor of the heat pump and for auxilliary apparatus.
