In 2004 China licensed the AVR technology and developed a reactor for power generation.<ref>{{cite news |date=2004-10-05 |title=China leading world in next generation of nuclear plants |work=[[South China Morning Post]] |url=http://daga.dhs.org/daga/readingroom/newsclips/2004/wto/41005scmp03.htm |url-status=dead |access-date=2006-10-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211094120/http://daga.dhs.org/daga/readingroom/newsclips/2004/wto/41005scmp03.htm |archive-date=2012-02-11}}</ref> The 10 megawatt prototype is called the [[HTR-10]]. It is a conventional helium-cooled, helium-turbine design.
