National Atomic Energy Agency of Indonesia (BATAN) has chosen the High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) for energy fulfilment solution in Indonesia. HTGR is a high-level safety Gen. IV power reactor, no melting core when an accident occurs, which very suitable for Indonesia. Indonesian HTGR development is initiated by the development of its experimental type, named Reaktor Daya Eksperimental (RDE). RDE refers to the Chinese HTR-10 design that had reached full power operation in 2003. Various researches have been conducted to prepare the RDE design to meet the HTGR safety system. This research is aimed to understand the characteristics of primary fluid flow and heat transfer in the core of HTR-10 and in that respect it is possible to obtain important parameters that can be used in RDE design.
