Abstract

To resolve the environmental and economics problems of fossil fuel energy, a hydrogen economy is promoted in many developed countries. Massive production of hydrogen using a nuclear power is a practical way to feed fuel required for the hydrogen economy. The author introduces a very high temperature reactor and its development status. He also reviews recent achievements and directions of research in hydrogen production process, such as sulfur-iodine thermochemical cycle, sulfur hybrid cycle, and high temperature electrolysis.

화학연료 사용으로 야기된 환경문제, 경제문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 수소경제가 추진되고 있다. 원자력을 이용한 대량수소생산은 수소경제를 뒷받침하기 위한 현실적인 방안이다. 본 논문에서는 원자력수소 생산에 사용할 초고온가스로의 특징과 개발현황, 초고온가스로로부터 발생하는 고온의 열을 이용한 수소생산방법 중 유력시 되는 기술로서 요오드-황 열화학법, 황산하이브리드법, 고온전기분해법의 기술개발 현황과 방향을 소개한다.
