    Oneoftheuniquefeaturesofthepebblebedmodularreactor(PBMR)isitsloadfollowingcapability,enabledbyextractingorinjectingofheliumfromortothesystemduringoperation. Fillingthetankswithaheatsinkwouldreducethenecessarygasstorageareadramatically.Theheatsinkwouldabsorbtheenergythatthehotgascontainsandconsequentlythegaswouldexperienceadecreaseintemperature.Thisimpliesthatthedensityofthegaswillincreaseandallowmoreheliumtobestoredinthesametankbeforethetankʹsmaximumoperatingpressureisreached. Acomputationalfluiddynamics(CFD)studyindicatedthattheheatsinkinfactreducedthetotalpressureinthetanksignificantly.
