A very high temperature reactor is a nuclear reactor using helium gas as a coolant, that might provide process heat for production of zero-carbon hydrogen from water.[1]
This article is a suggested outline for an article on a specific reactor design, to address the issues raised in the parent article Nuclear power reconsidered.
