High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) are a new type of environmentally clean source of nuclear energy. Their unique properties – capability of generating heat at temperatures to 1000°C and a high safety security – determine the wide possibilities for using reactors of this type to produce hydrogen from water, supply heat for technological processes in different industries, and produce electricity very efficiently in a gas-turbine cycle. Currently, OKBM Afrikantov is working jointly with Russian enterprises on the development of a nuclear power plant + hydrogen energy plant (NPP-HEP) with HTGR and a chemical-technology part for hydrogen production. This work should result in a decision on the construction of the lead block of NPP-HEP with HTGR and a chemical technological part for hydrogen production. The implementation of this project will contribute to the solution of the global problems of decarbonization and growing consumption of energy and it will stimulate the formation of a new technological order – hydrogen energetics.

高温气冷堆（HTGR）是一种新型的环境清洁型核能源。它们的独特性能–能够在高达1000°C的温度下产生热量的能力和高度的安全性–决定了使用这种类型的反应器从水中生产氢气，为不同行业的工艺过程提供热量以及非常高效地发电的广泛可能性在燃气轮机循环中。目前，OKBM Afrikantov正在与俄罗斯企业合作开发具有HTGR的核电站+氢能厂（NPP-HEP）和用于生产氢的化学技术部件。这项工作应决定建造具有HTGR的NPP-HEP铅块和用于制氢的化学技术部件。
