Plant for the production of hydrogen through utilization of heat energy obtained from a gas-cooled nuclear reactor
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7296609
Disclosed is a plant for the production of hydrogen, preferably for the hydrogenating gasification of coal, through utilization of heat energy derived from a gas-cooled, high-temperature nuclear reactor comprising: (a) a thick-walled pressure vessel; (b) a high temperature reactor contained in a centrally oriented cavity within the vessel; (c) a plurality of process gas cracking reactors contained within the wall of the vessel; (d) a number of steam generators corresponding to the number of the gas cracking reactors, the generators being contained in the wall of the vessel; (e) a number of recuperative heat exchangers corresponding to the number of gas cracking reactors, each of the heat exchangers being contained in the wall of the vessel and being positioned closely adjacent one of the gas cracking reactors; and (f) a coaxial conduit connecting said adjacent heat exchanger and gas cracking reactor pairs.
