Resumen:

The use of the Very High Temperature Reactor coupled to thermochemical cycles would provide another route to hydrogen production with high efficiencies. Currently, a process which has increased efforts in research and development for hydrogen production is the Sulphur-Iodine. The operating conditions are generally hazardous in nature by virtue of the intrinsic chemical properties of materials or their operating temperature or pressure or a combination of these. Additionally, the coupling of a nuclear power plant to a chemical plant poses new safety issues that must be analyzed in order to design and implement safety measures to protect the facilities, the environment and the population. In order to determine the possible areas affected due to hazardous releases, simulations were performed with the Phast computer program. In particular, in this work, hydrogen, sulphuric acid, sulphur dioxide, iodine, and hydridic acid were studied. © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group.
