1. A rotatable reactor comprising:
an outer housing;
a fuel containment insert (1000) configured to rotate within the outer housing;
a solid fuel (600) inside the reactor (509) of the fuel containment insert;
at least one liquid inlet in fluid communication with the containment insert;
at least one atomizer in fluid communication with the liquid inlet;
at least one hydrogen outlet in fluid communication with the containment insert;
wherein at least one of the containment insert and the containment insert and liquid inlet are removable from the outer housing;
wherein the reactor comprises an outer shell (1201) and an inner shell (1202) which further contains a perforated core (1203) comprising perforations (1204), said core is configured to contain the solid fuel and allow byproducts produced during hydrolysis of the solid fuel to pass through the perforations of the perforated core.
