Method for carrying out endothermic chemical reactions with the use of nuclear reactor cooling gases

Creators

Description

A process is disclosed for carrying out an endothermic chemical reaction, such as the water-gas reaction, wherein heat is supplied to the reaction from nuclear reactor cooling gases. The invention is characterized in that water vapor and fuel, for example, are passed through a series of heat exchangers and reaction chambers in series, the heat exchangers being disposed within a conduit through which cooling gases from a nuclear reactor flow. When a fuel such as methane, for example, is being dissociated in the endothermic reaction, additional fuel is added to each reaction chamber where heat is supplied from the nuclear reactor cooling medium via a separate heat exchanger for that chamber
