The results of these studies have shown that, for undersea applications in which a nuclear power plant is not practical, an SPE fuel cell power plant can offer a safe, reliable high energy density alternative which can provide extended submerged operation capability. One of the major considerations in the design of such a system is the selection of the best method of storing the hydrogen and oxygen reactants. This selection will depend on the relative importance of system weight, volume and costs, plus other considerations, such as relative system complexity, operational characteristics, and safety provisions. SPE fuel cell systems have established a proven record of safety and reliability in manned spacecraft, and should also be a viable candidate for undersea applications.
