Safety issues of nuclear production of hydrogen

Integrated System Technology of POME Treatment for Biohydrogen and Biomethane Production in Malaysia

“…Pure biohydrogen can produce electricity in fuel cells. These criteria make hydrogen the most environmentally friendly and an ideal alternative to fossil fuels [113]. For the future energy economy, hydrogen has become a key energy trajectory [114].…”

A mathematical model for flame volume estimation based on flame height of turbulent gaseous fuel jet

“…The flame characteristics behave at two regimes with the increase of hydrogen mole fraction [5]. Furthermore, considerable research on safety issues of energy conservation and conversion has been conducted, since safety principles are fundamental guidelines in the design, construction and operation [6][7][8]. The safety issue of nuclear fission has started to obtain attention [6].…”

“…Furthermore, considerable research on safety issues of energy conservation and conversion has been conducted, since safety principles are fundamental guidelines in the design, construction and operation [6][7][8]. The safety issue of nuclear fission has started to obtain attention [6]. Some methods have been used to assess the risk of geothermal power plants [7].…”

Hazard analysis and safety assurance for the integration of nuclear reactors and thermochemical hydrogen plants

“…The worst scenario could be a severe damage or detonation of nuclear reactor core caused by the blast of hydrogen plant (Smith et al, 2005;Baindur, 2008;Piera et al, 2006). The probability of detonation was quantified, and a minimum separation distance between nuclear reactor and hydrogen production units was suggested to avoid the detonation.…”

“…The probability of detonation was quantified, and a minimum separation distance between nuclear reactor and hydrogen production units was suggested to avoid the detonation. To minimize the risk, some measures were proposed (Baindur, 2008;Piera et al, 2006), including putting a 100 kg on-site limit for hydrogen storage, quickly piping hydrogen out as produced, location of the nuclear plant control room outside of the dispersion zone for chemical release. Detrimental impacts of the chemicals in a hydrogen production plant on the nuclear reactor were examined qualitatively and some risk-mitigating design modifications were proposed to minimize the probability of nuclear core damage.…”
