Abstract

Nuclear hydrogen production is a technically feasible and economically viable option for addressing future energy needs. Several projects have been started on the co-generation of hydrogen and electricity from nuclear energy. In this report, the nickel sulphur iodine (NIS) cycle, a thermochemical water splitting cycle originally developed in ENEA for solar hydrogen production was studied to be coupled with a new generation nuclear reactor for massive hydrogen production.
