Central to this architecture are Reversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (RSOFCs), a dual-function technology capable of generating electricity, hydrogen, and clean water simultaneously.

In a significant advancement for integrated clean energy systems, NuScale Power Corporation, in collaboration with GSE Solutions, has launched the world’s first fully integrated hydrogen production simulator within a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) control room environment. 

Hosted at NuScale’s headquarters in Corvallis, Oregon, the system marks a critical step in demonstrating how nuclear-powered high-temperature steam electrolysis can drive scalable, carbon-free hydrogen production.
