The Pebble Bed Reactor Core is a component to the HTGR. The Pebble Bed Reactor Core generates heat by burning up TRISO Fuel Pellets. The heat must be transferred into a Carbon Dioxide Heat Exchanger to heat Carbon Dioxide into Hot Carbon Dioxide.

Handbook Description

The pebble bed reactor core is the fuel unit for a pebble bed reactor. Load it up with fuel pellets, and it will undergo spontaneous fission and generate heat. This heat is best transferred to a carbon dioxide heat exchanger.

A very detailed how to on constructing and operating the HTGR: http://lisimba.org/minecraft/howto_beginner_reactor/howto.html

Please note that the HGTR has been nerfed substantially since this guide was written, and will require many more fuel cores before it gets to a usable temperature. 12 cores should be a good starting point.
