China
China has licensed the German technology and is actively developing a
pebble bed reactor for power generation [8]. The 10 megawatt prototype
is called the HTR-10. It is a conventional helium-cooled, helium-
turbine design. The program is at Tsinghua University in Beijing. The
first 200 megawatt production plant is planned for 2007. There are firm
plans for thirty such plants by 2020 (6 gigawatts). By 2050, China
plans to deploy as much as 300 gigawatts of reactors of which PBMRs
will be a major component. If PBMRs are successful, there may be a
substantial number of reactors deployed. This may be the largest
planned nuclear power deployment in history.
Tsinghua's program for Nuclear and New Energy technology also plans in
2006 to begin developing a system to use the high temperature gas of a
pebble bed reactor to crack steam to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen
could serve as fuel for hydrogen vehicles, reducing China's dependence
on imported oil. Hydrogen can also be stored, unlike electricity, and
distribution by pipelines may be more efficient than conventional power
lines. See hydrogen economy.

420 progressive spring
Does anyone know the the spring compression rating for the 420-1030
rear shock/spring combo from Progressive Suspension? Is it a 350-450
or the heavier 500-560. According to various dealers there is only 1
spring available but they don't know the compression rating.
No response received from Progressive Suspension.
Thanks in advance
