POWER magazine: Demonstration Advances to Produce Hydrogen Using Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Technology

By POWER magazine

Terrestrial Energy USA, a company that is developing a fourth-generation molten salt nuclear reactor, has joined forces with Southern Co. and several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs, in a research and development (R&D) project that seeks to pin down whether its reactor technology can produce hydrogen efficiently using nuclear heat and power. DOE’s Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) says the demonstration could develop a “plausible path” to producing hydrogen gas using both thermal and electrical energy (78% thermal energy and 22% electrical energy) at a cost of less than $2/kilogram of hydrogen. Molten salt reactors are the “best choice” for high turn-down electrical power generation efficiency, it says.

Platts: Terrestrial Energy teams with DOE, laboratories on hydrogen project

By Platts

Terrestrial Energy announced Wednesday it is partnering with Southern Company and several US Department of Energy laboratories to develop a “more climate-friendly process for producing industrial hydrogen” using Terrestrial Energy’s generation IV Integral Molten Salt Reactor. “The two-year research and development project will examine the efficiency, design and economics of the IMSR power plant to produce carbon-free, industrial-scale hydrogen using the hybrid sulfur process,” Terrestrial Energy said in a statement Wednesday. “This carbon-free method of generating hydrogen from water may be more efficient that high-temperature steam electrolysis.”
