Possibilities of the utilization of high-temperature reactors for the production of hydrogen by thermochemical water-splitting

  • 1. CEA Centre d'Etudes Nucleaires de Saclay, 91 - Gif-sur-Yvette (France)

Description

A survey is given on thermochemical water splitting in general and on the four-stage iodine-arsenic and iron-sulphur cycles in particular. The specific demands made on the helium-cooled high-temperature reactors which are to supply the necessary process heat are dealt with. (GG/AK)

Abstract (German)

Es wird ein Ueberblick gegeben ueber die thermochemische Wasserzersetzung im allgemeinen und ueber die vierstufigen Jod-Arsen- und Eisen-SChwefel-Zyklen im besonderen. Die spezifischen Anforderungen der helium-gekuehlten Hochtemperatur-Kernreaktoren, welche die hierfuer erforderliche Prozesswaerme liefern sollen, werden besprochen. (GG)
