1. 1. Reactor Chemistry in LWR SMRs : Determination of the rate constant for the reaction between boric acid and hydroxyl radicals

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

   Author : Fredrik Petersson; [2023]
   Keywords : LWR; SMR; Water chemistry; Radiolysis; Boric acid; LWR; SMR; vattenkemi; Radiolys; Borsyra; Hydroxylradikal;

   Abstract : Ett problem vid byggandet av nya kärnkraftverk för elproduktion är de stora investeringskostnaderna samt den långa tiden det att få tillstånd för en reaktor och bygga den. Nyligen färdigställdes den tredje reaktorn vid Olkiluoto I Finland, den tog 18 år att färdigställa exklusive tiden att få tillstånd för reaktorn. READ MORE

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Isak Hedberg; Stina Fredriksson; Axel Hallander; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Nuclear weapons are an ever-present danger which threatens our very existence, which is whymany call for total nuclear disarmament. To do this, we need to know how many nuclear bombsthere are in the world. READ MORE

4. 3. High spatial resolution study of local corrosion effects on BWR-fuel cladding : Using a combined method of GEANT4 and lwrChem

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Martin Nilsson Lind; [2023]
   Keywords : fission; zircaloy; corrosion; radiolysis; radiation; BWR; Monte Carlo; GEANT4; lwrChem;

   Abstract : The core of a BWR constitutes a highly complex radiational and chemical environment. Nuclear fission is utilized to generate power and as a consequence, large quantities of ionizing radiation are produced. Gamma and beta-particles along with neutrons have the sufficient ranges to escape the fuel rods and deposit energy in the reactor coolant. READ MORE

5. 4. A VVER1000 primary side model in Apros

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Karl-Edvin Strand; [2023]
   Keywords : Apros; VVER1000; PWR; Modelling; HPIS; Boron acid; Apros; VVER1000; PWR; Modellering; HPIS; Borsyra;

   Abstract : Nuclear power plants generate electricity by means of splitting atoms. The basic safety requirements and objectives are to protect the people, society, and the environment from radiological accidents, limit harmful effects of ionizing radiation during operation and take all reasonable practical steps to prevent radiological accidents.
