NRC engineers share their expertise at the University of Puerto Rico
Robert Roche-Rivera and Marcos Rolón-Acevedo are licensed professional engineers who work at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are also alumni of the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez (UPRM) and have been sharing their knowledge and experience with students at their alma mater since last year, serving as adjunct professors in the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. During the 2023–2024 school year, they each taught two courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Nuclear Power Plant Engineering.

With recent federal initiatives and nuclear power plant demonstration projects in the U.S., the creation of networks of hydrogen producers, consumers, and regional infrastructure to accelerate use of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier is gaining momentum. While early progress continues to be made in the first set of demonstration opportunities, challenges remain before the commercial projects demonstrate viability and scalability while maintaining safety. This panel session will feature perspectives and insights from nuclear hydrogen strategic lead planners and risk, reliability and safety subject matter experts from national laboratories. Some of the themes to be explored in the panel will be: (1) Considerations in selecting the hydrogen production technological approach (e.g., low-temperature vs. high-temperature electrolysis); (2) Anticipated hydrogen applications; (3) Early planning and demonstration objectives; (4) Insights from probabilistic safety, consequence and resilience studies of integrated energy systems; (5) Regulatory considerations; (6) Scalability of demonstration projects; (7) Storage, delivery, and infrastructure planning; (8) H2Hub regional participation; and (9) The Hydrogen Path Forward - Expectations and milestones over the next five years.
