Abstract
In order to structurally diversify the energy sector and transit to carbon-free development, R&D of nuclear hydrogen technologies for the large-scale production and consumption of hydrogen is being carried out including a project of a nuclear power engineering plant with a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR NPEP) for obtaining hydrogen and hydrogen-containing products. Based on domestic and foreign experience, steam reforming of methane was selected as the method of the NPEP hydrogen production. A description of the NPEP and its technical characteristics is provided. The main technological processes implemented in the chemical engineering plant are described. A proposal for licensing a NPEP project providing for a single-site location of a nuclear power facility and a hazardous industrial facility with different regulatory requirements is considered. A list of R&D activities, which is necessary to confirm technical solutions and develop materials for licensing the NPEP project in regulatory authorities, is provided.
