<p>The Modular Pebble Bed Reactor is a small high temperature helium cooled  reactor that is being considered for both electric power and hydrogen production. Pebble  bed reactors are being developed in South Africa, China and the US. To make smaller  120 Mwe reactors economically competitive with larger 1500 Mwe traditional light water  reactors changes in the way these plants are built are needed. Economies of production  need to be sufficiently large to compete with economies of scale. MIT (Berte) has been  working on developing a modular design and construction strategy for several years.  This thesis builds on that work by demonstrating the technical feasibility of implementing  the modularity approaches previously developed.
