N2 - The Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) will most likely produce electricity and process heat, with both being used for hydrogen production. To capture nuclear process heat, and transport it to a distant industrial facility requires a high temperature system of heat exchangers, pumps and/or compressors. The heat transfer system is particularly challenging not only due to the elevated temperatures (up to ∼ 1300K) and industrial scale power transport (∼ 50 MW), but also due to a potentially large separation distance between the nuclear and industrial plants (100+m) dictated by safety and licensing mandates.
