Summary:

Contributors from the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, the Idaho National Laboratory, and other institutions concerned with nuclear energy in various countries explain how hydrogen can be produced on an economy-wide scale using nuclear energy. They cover methods, systems, applied science and technology, and worldwide research and development. Among specific topics are the thermochemical decomposition of water, high-temperature gas reactors, the sodium fast reactor, the hybrid sulfur cycle, nuclear coal gasification, European Union activities regarding using nuclear power for producing hydrogen, nuclear hydrogen production development in China, and the international development of fusion energy.
