The system of hydrogen production by water electrolysis using nuclear off-peak power was investigated. The cost of off-peak power by substituting nuclear power source for various power sources was evaluated. These off-peak power cost data were connected with two kinds of plant data of the water electrolysis and hydrogen production cost using off-peak power was calculated. It was found that the hydrogen production cost by this proposal could be cheap in comparison with that from the conventional method. Annual patterns of hydrogen production using off-peak power were also investigated.
