2 Basic Options (1/2) Co-generation is often proposed, but: Operation of a co-generation plant seems to be difficult Relative power of H2 and electricity production is an open parameter Detailed coupling circuit is complicated A dedicated VHTR is studied to deliver heat to a Sulfur/Iodine chemical process It reduces the number of difficulties Outlet temperature of the VHTR is adapted to the needed temperature of the process Electricity comes from the grid A detailed scheme for the coupled plant should be obtained Optimization can be done NEA 3 rd Meeting on Nuclear Production of Hydrogen, OARAI, Japan, 5-7 Oct
3 Basic Options (2/2) A dedicated 600 MWth VHTR Temperature is above 900 C H 2 production is around 1 kmol/s H 2 storage Reactor building Heat exchange Thermo-chemical Water splitting process NEA 3 rd Meeting on Nuclear Production of Hydrogen, OARAI, Japan, 5-7 Oct
