The tank is just a tank, of normal metal of composite. The hydride is in the form of small metal balls, coated with plastic. They test the integrity of the balls by boiling them in water, so they are quite safe to transport. You drop the ball into the tank of water, then puncture the plastic coating to allow it to react with water.

I took a quick look at the site. The technology looks interesting but I am certain it would be uneconomical for transportaion fuel purposes.
