  1. 1. Development of a computational method for determining gamma energy escape from calorimeters at CLAB

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Amela Mehic; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear physics; Calorimeter; SNF; MCNP; Dose rate; CLAB; Gamma energy; Fuel assembly; Form function; Attenuation coefficient; Gamma spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company- SKB has conducted measurement campaigns at the Swedish central interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel- CLAB over the years, extending from year 2003 to 2019 where the gamma energy escape was acquired. At CLAB the spent nuclear fuel assembly is inserted into the calorimeter; device intended to measure temperature increase due to decay heat from the fuel assembly. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sustainability Assessment of a Battery Storage System : Case study of a building-applied photovoltaic system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Klara Flygare; Selma Frykholm; Moa Tingstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : energy system; batteries; energy storage; solar panels; BESS; sustainability; nuclear waste; energisystem; batterier; energilagring; solceller; BESS; hållbarhet; kärnavfall;

    Abstract : This bachelor thesis assesses the environmental sustainability of the implementation of a battery storage system in a commercial building. The thesis compares  two case studies, Case 1 being a commercial building with installed solar panels and Case 2 being a commercial building with installed solar panels and a battery storage system.

  4. 3. Detection of voids in welded joints using ultrasonic inspection : Quality control of welded joints in copper canisters for purpose of permanent storage of used nuclear waste

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Bakhtiar Afzalan; [2021]
    Keywords : Ultrasonic inspection; Nuclear waste; Nuclear waste storage; welded joints;

    Abstract : This thesis was done i cooperation with SKB Clab in Oskarshamn and studies use of sonic waves for detecting voids and irregularities in the weld joints of copper capsules used for long term storage of radioactive waste. Since these could pose material failure and thereby risk radioactive contamination of ground water it is very important to find means of quality control before storage. READ MORE

  5. 4. Geological characterisation of geophysical lineaments as part of the expanded site descriptive model around the planned repository site for high-level nuclear waste, Forsmark, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Aron Bakker; [2021]
    Keywords : Forsmark; deformation zones; Svecokarelian; Sveconorwegian; ductile-brittle transition; brittle deformation; mylonite; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB) started a project in 2020 near Forsmark, Sweden with the aim to expand the deformation zone model to encompass the entire catchment area around the planned repository for spent nuclear fuel. READ MORE

  6. 5. On the mechanism of H2O2 decomposition on UO2-surfaces

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Darius Pakarinen; [2018]
    Keywords : hydrogen peroxide decomposition; uranium dissolution; coumarin scavenging;

    Abstract : Deep geological repository has been investigated as a solution for long term storage of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden for more than 40 years now. The Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB) are commissioning the deep repository and they must ensure that nuclear waste is isolated from the environment for thousands of years.
