Process heat from a high-temperature nuclear reactor can be used to drive a set of chemical reactions, with the net result of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. For example, process heat at temperatures in the range 850°C to 950°C can drive the sulfur-iodine (SI) thermochemical process to produce hydrogen with high efficiency. Electricity can also be used to split water, using conventional, low-temperature electrolysis (LTE). An example of a hybrid process is high-temperature electrolysis (HTE), in which process heat is used to generate steam, which is then supplied to an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen. In this paper we investigate the coupling of the Modular Helium Reactor (MHR) to the SI process and HTE. These concepts are referred to as the H2-MHR. Optimization of the MHR core design to produce higher coolant outlet temperatures is also discussed.

For the low temperature waste heat recovery problem, waste heat recycling system was designed based on the heat pipe heat transfer technology of hydrogen in industry. The system is mainly in the process of hydrogen production by methanol steam reforming, using heat pipe excellent thermal conductivity, isothermal and thermal response characteristics, it will be in the low temperature waste heat of flue gas as heat source, in the heat pipe under the action of high efficiency heat transfer, through technology improvement, structure optimization design, achieved high efficiency, energy saved heat transfer to the methanol in the reaction system of hydrogen production, achieved the goal of remaining heat to be recycled.
