Workshop - Hydrogen Production Using Nuclear Energy - Safety Considerations

The one-day workshop aims to address critical safety aspects and standardization needs associated with integrating hydrogen production facilities with nuclear power plants (NPPs). Current nuclear fleets, as well as the anticipated deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs), can be coupled to different electrochemical and thermochemical hydrogen production technologies to produce clean and sustainable hydrogen at a large scale. Over the past three years, several nations have delved into demonstration projects for hydrogen production from nuclear energy, providing valuable insights into relevant safety considerations and standards. This event seeks to build on such initiatives by fostering a comprehensive discussion on the technical and safety aspects of hydrogen production at nuclear power plants.

This event's discussions will focus on the technical and safety aspects of integrating hydrogen production with NPPs, assessing existing standards, and determining whether specific safety considerations are required to address the interface between these technologies. By bringing together key parties, this event will facilitate the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and ongoing R&D programs, fostering a collaborative approach to overcome the challenges of hydrogen production using nuclear energy. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities involved and contribute to the development of robust safety and technical frameworks necessary for the future of low-carbon hydrogen production.

This conference is hosted and welcomed by G4SR-5 conference.
