    Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
    Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

  3. 2. Feasibility of HALEU-loaded Breed-and-Burn Molten Salt Fast Reactor without Online Actinide Treatment

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Lei Shi; [2023]
    Keywords : Molten salt; Chloride fuel; Fast reactor; Breed-and-Burn; Smält salt; kloridbränsle; snabbreaktor; avel och bränning;

    Abstract : Molten Salt Fast Reactors (MSFRs) have prominent advantages such as fuel breeding, nuclear waste transmutation, and inherent safety. They are the only liquid-fueled nuclear reactors currently receiving significant attention as fourth-generation advanced nuclear systems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Calibration of a Fast Neutron Time-of-Flight System

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Armando Javier Morales Urrutia; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Future experiments with thermal neutrons at neutron facilities may encounter fast neutrons as sources of background. Understanding fast neutron behavior on an event-by-event basis in a detector is important for these complementary thermal neutron experiments. One way to study fast neutron events is by performing a time-of-flight measurement. READ MORE

  6. 5. Etching methods for Electron Microscopy of Actinide Nitride Fuel.

    University essay from KTH/Reaktorfysik

    Author : Boel Morenius; Timothy Ekelund; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report describes the process of a Bachelor thesis project conducted by two students at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The project consists of establishing a functioning etching method for enhancing the visibility of grain structure in uranium nitride ( ) and uranium-zirconium nitride ( ). READ MORE
