| Assessment of Hydrogen Plant Risks For Siting Near Nuclear Power Plants |
|---|
| An underlying basis for the PRA of a nuclear plant that is connected to a hydrogen plant is understanding the safety risks associated with hydrogen production, storage, and pipeline infrastructure that is located in close proximity. Sandia National Laboratory has used historical data to provide relevant accident scenarios and frequencies. In addition, potential hazards associated with local hydrogen leaks, flames, and explosion scenarios have been evaluated to determine the impact on the nuclear plant facility and related power systems and other plant targets. The outcomes for a large-scale hydrogen product within 0.5 to 1.0 kilometers has been evaluated. The minimum separation distance of the HTEF is calculated based on the target fragility criteria of 1 psi defined in Regulatory Guide 1.91. |
