    • Hydrogen Production for Steam Electrolysis Using a Supercritical CO[subscript 2]- Cooled Fast Reactor 

      Memmott, M. J.; Driscoll, Michael J.; Hejzlar, Pavel; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2007-02-01)
      Rising natural gas prices and growing concern over CO[subscript 2] emissions have intensified interest in alternative methods for producing hydrogen. Nuclear energy can be used to produce hydrogen through thermochemical ...

    • OPTIMIZATION OF THE HYBRID SULFUR CYCLE FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION 

      Jeong, Y. H.; Kazimi, Mujid S.; Hohnholt, K. J.; Yildiz, Bilge (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2005-05-01)
      The hybrid sulfur cycle (modified from the Westinghouse Cycle) for decomposing water into oxygen and hydrogen is evaluated. Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of sulfur dioxide and water mixture at low temperature, ...

    • ATTRIBUTES OF A NUCLEAR-ASSISTED GAS TURBINE POWER CYCLE 

      Jeong, Y. H.; Saha, P.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2005-02-01)
      By using a combination of a nuclear reactor, which emits no carbon dioxide, and a high efficiency natural gas turbine combined cycle (NGCC), electric utilities can reduce their generation cost as well as minimize the ...
