      abstract     = {The inherent safety features of modular High Temperature
                      Reactors (HTRs) make events leading to severe core damage
                      highly unlikely and constitute the main differentiating
                      aspects compared to LWRs. Furthermore, while a known and
                      stable regulatory environment has long been established for
                      Light Water Reactors (LWRs), different ways of thinking may
                      help to develop a more appropriate licensing process for
                      HTR-based power plants.The HTR-L project funded by the
                      European Commission in the 5th Framework Programme was
                      dedicated to the definition of a common and coherent
                      European safety approach and the identification of the main
                      licensing issues for the licensing framework of the modular
                      HTRs. Several topics were developed during the course of
                      this project.Due to the characteristics of the HTR design,
                      it has been necessary to define specific defence-in-depth
                      requirements which have then been evaluated for
                      implementation in the safety approach. Safety-related
                      functions appropriate for the HTR design have also had to be
                      identified and listed.On one hand, the different possible
                      solicitations of the fuel particles constituted the starting
                      point for the identification of the accidental conditions
                      (by means of the Master Logic Diagrams methodology); these
                      accidental conditions were classified and the most
                      appropriate methods to consider ultra low probability severe
                      accidents were examined.On the other hand, the elements
                      constituting the source term and, in particular, the
                      requirements for the confinement of radioactive products and
                      the conditions required to prevent the need for a
                      "conventional" containment structure have been discussed.In
                      the definition of the safety approach, attention has been
                      paid to the need to maintain the potentially interesting
                      economic perspectives of HTR reactors. Key issues to be
                      addressed in the licensing process of the HTRs have also
                      been identified. An innovative systems, structures and
                      components classification method has been developed and
                      rules that will govern equipment qualification proposed. (c)
