Water splitting from nuclear thermal energy

Given the potential of the very high heat levels from certain types of reactors, such as LFTRs, it may well be feasible to use such heat to produce hydrogen directly.

But even if you can do this economically, you still must find a way to transport it.  You could produce ammonia, but that has its hazards.

That brings me back to my proposition and make this post x+3 in the series.  ( x+2 was the last post)

It would be a way in the system that I propose to produce the ammonia without using a biological nor petroleum feedstocks.  Just use the ammonia in the solvay process to produce soda ash, and from there back to ammonium carbonate.
