The Topical Sessions will begin with a set of invited papers that describe the status of development efforts around the world on massive, centralized production of hydrogen, primarily from nuclear energy. This will set the stage for subsequent sessions that address specific aspects of hydrogen production technology.

This symposium focuses on nontraditional methods for generating hydrogen that would reduce reliance on fossil fuels. A leading candidate is the use of heat from an advanced, high temperature nuclear reactor to dissociate water into hydrogen and oxygen. However, papers on any novel process for generating hydrogen, whether based on a nuclear energy source or otherwise, are encouraged. Typical processes include: * thermochemical cycles (e.g. Sulfur-Iodine); * hybrid cycles (e.g. Hybrid Sulfur); * electrolysis; * photoelectrochemical methods; * photobiological methods. Session I focuses on the Sulfur-Iodine cycle.
This symposium focuses on Advanced Oxidation and Reduction Processes for Environmental Applications in Liquid/Gas Phase.

The goal of this venue is to present basic and applied research contributions in the areas of physical and chemical separation processes for the environmental and energy industries. Papers which address cutting edge separation technology in the fossil, renewable, nuclear energy industries are encouraged. Unique and advanced chemical ion exchange, ionic liquid-liquid extraction(green chemistry) and high temperature chemical separation processes previously not applied are also encouraged.
Water can be split to make hydrogen by using heat from a high-temperature nuclear reactor to drive various hydrogen production processes such as thermochemical and hybrid cycles, and high temperature electrolysis. Hydrogen can also be produced by reforming biomass and wastes, by photochemical, biological and solar water-splitting, and by more conventional means. This session invites papers discussing the plant design, system analysis, economics, and infrastructure issues of hydrogen production. Analysis of plant efficiency and process modeling of hydrogen production processes (with emphasis on overall plant system performance) may also be included.

Simulation of thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production by different researchers has led to very different performance predictions. This session addresses the effect on predicted performamce of uncertainties in the computed thermodynamic properties of the various process streams and differences in their conditions. By highlighting this problem, we hope to stimulate movement toward an international benchmarking effort.

US nuclear energy policy is currently promulgated via the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP). This initiative would use a closed nuclear fuel cycle to enhance energy security, achieving its goal by having nations with secure, advanced nuclear capabilities provide fuel to other nations for power generation only. GNEP would require development and deployment of technologies for recycling and consumption of long-lived radwaste. Its focus is on nuclear power expansion, proliferation-resistant recycling, minimized nuclear waste, advanced burner reactors, reliable fuel services, appropriately-sized reactors, and nuclear safeguards. GNEP strategy appears to be addressing cost and safety issues, as well as safeguards and proliferation, but it does not appear to be addressing the waste disposal issue in much depth other than to suggest separation schemes that could optimize repository space. Nuclear power and the fuel cycle fell into public disfavor when waste processing and disposal issues were not adequately addressed. They must be resolved to the public’s satisfaction before nuclear power can enjoy any resurrection. This session will consist of invited papers that addresses GNEP strategy with the intent of establishing a dialog about this important issue.
