This process subjects ordinary water to the 800° C. heat of a nuclear reactor. At such temperatures, the hydrogen and oxygen in the water begin to separate; each can then be combined with other chemicals and eventually extracted from them. Dr. Cesare Marchetti, head of Euratom's materials division, predicts: "By improving the technology through experience, we can push the costs of hydrogen fuel down by perhaps...
