Production of hydrogen driectly from nuclear processes

The idea for this came from the Fukushima explosion.  That explosion was a hydrogen explosion.  Since at high temperature, zirconium will react with water which produces the hydrogen and, thus the explosion, it seemed like a possibility for hydrogen production.

One can get high rates of reaction from temperatures of about 1800 Centigrade or possibly higher with finely divided metal.

A quick read of this pdf file yielded the information for this post.  Sorry for any errors.  I'll look at this again when I have more time.
