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.
