  1. 6. 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

  2. 7. AN APPROACH FOR FINDING A GENERAL APPROXIMATION TO THE GROUP SEQUENTIAL BOOTSTRAP TEST

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Douglas Ekstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : group sequential design; alpha spending; bootstrap; false positive rate;

    Abstract : Randomized experiments are regarded as the gold standard for estimating causal effects. Commonly, a single test is performed using a fixed sample size. However, observations may also be observed sequentially and because of economical and ethical reasons, it may be desirable to terminate the trial early. READ MORE

  3. 8. Qualification of a Physical Model of Cladding Creep During Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Robin Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dry Storage; Thermal Creep; Zircaloy-4; Pellet-Cladding Interaction; Torrt Förvar; Termisk Krypning; Zircaloy-4; Kuts-Kapsling Interaktion;

    Abstract : In dry interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, thermal creep is one of the major threats to the fuel cladding integrity due to the constant decay heat generation from the fission products and minor actinides in the fuel, and the increase in fuel rod internal pressure which is present after burnup. Plenty of research has been done on either empty cladding tubes irradiated in a research reactor, or on spent fuel that is defueled prior to the examination. READ MORE

  4. 9. Out of Sight, Out of Mind. The ‘Social Death’ of Institutionalized Women and Children and the ‘Social Amnesia’ of Irish Society in the Twentieth Century, Depicted in Forensic Evidence from the Children's Mass Grave at a former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co. Galway.

    University essay from

    Author : Cecilia Ahl Falkensjö; [2021-02-26]
    Keywords : Dark heritage; social amnesia; social death; forensic archaeology; juvenile human remains; bioarchaeology; Irish state; Catholic Church; child abuse; human rights violation; Irish society; Irish media;

    Abstract : The twentieth century was a time of social and political changes. Victims of trauma, genocide, massacres and abuse in a largely Post-Colonial era would increasingly gain recognition and places of suffering, death and pain would become places of remembrance. READ MORE

  5. 10. Making Socio-Technical Transition Pathways : The establishment of the Swedish Climate Policy Council, an Argumentative Policy Analytical case study

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Eskil Engström; [2021]
    Keywords : transitions discourse; climate change acts; socio-technical transitions; transition pathways; argumentative discourse analysis; climate policy evaluation;

    Abstract : In recent years, several nations have adopted institutional framework laws, so-called Climate Change Acts (CCAs), as means to enforce Paris-compliant mitigation pathways. A key institutional feature to ensure policy stability and compliance with CCAs has been the establishment of independent advisory bodies, tasked with advising on mitigation targets and policy instruments, as well as the, monitoring and evaluation of target attainment.
