Abstract: The paper deals with the safety assurance aspects of a power-technological complex for large-scale hydrogen production (MHR-T PTC) combining the innovative nuclear and hydrogen processes. It reviews practical realisation of the nuclear-hydrogen concept developed in early 1970s on the basis of high-temperature helium reactor plants of the fourth MHR-T generation, which allows production of high-temperature heat, 1000°C, for its simultaneous use in hydrogen production and electricity generation.

Keywords: nuclear hydrogen power; technology innovation; nuclear technology; hydrogen technology; gas turbine modular helium reactors; large-scale hydrogen production; safety assurance; economics; electricity generation; nuclear reactors; nuclear energy; nuclear power.
