An review of hydrogen production through nuclearenergy1,2

The role of energy in human life has become undeniable in the current age. Stable supply of energy is very important for the development of industrial activities in different societies. Permanent and stable energy supply for the consumption network is a subject that faces a challenge due to the variability of consumption at different times of the day, season and year. On the other hand, new sources and energy are also among the things that have variable production. To solve this problem and store energy in times of lack of consumption and release energy in times of lack of production, using hydrogen as an energy carrier is considered a suitable option. By using hydrogen, as a type of energy carrier whose storage and consumption has a non-complex technology, the production of various power plant units remains at the maximum level, and this leads to a more economical production of energy in these units with fixed investment. leads to The use of hydrogen in the petrochemical and refinery industries is also very high, and there is no problem in terms of the consumption market for the additional production of hydrogen in one unit. On the other hand, technologies related to reducing the scale of hydrogen use in household appliances are growing day by day.
