Loading ...I saw the aftermath of a turbine failure at a nuclear plant in Asia . The mega-watt generator was cooled with pure hydrogen . As long as it was hermetically sealed to exclude air (and oxygen) , no problem . When the turbine failed , the attached generator housing was breached and a hydrogen fire resulted , also igniting the turbine lube oil system . The turbine hall deck was plate steel about an inch thick . It melted and drooped like a boiled sheet of lasagna . Impressive to say the least !
