  1. 16. Quantum Computing in Nuclear Physics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Luca Bernecker; [2022]
    Keywords : quantum computing; nuclear physics; qubits; theoretical physics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate many–body systems using simulations of quan- tum computers. Quantum computing is a computational paradigm based on qubits which are defined in a Hilbert space instead of the familiar binary bits. READ MORE

  3. 17. Power Reconstruction Uncertainties in European Pressurized Reactor Impact of Partial. Unavailability of Sensors

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Matthieu Causse; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study is part of a theme related to the physical tests performed on the core of nuclear reactors and particularly the EPR, a new French reactor under construction on the Flamanville site. The peaking factors of this reactor are continuously monitored by an instrumentation located both inside (collectrons) and outside (external fission chambers) the core. READ MORE

  4. 18. Investigation on Operation of the Compact Molten Salt Reactor by Modelling the Primary Circuit in GeN-FOAM

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jelle Oving; [2022]
    Keywords : molten salt reactor; GeN-Foam; delayed neutrons; OpenFOAM; multi-physics; smältsaltreaktor; GeN-Foam; fördröjda neutroner; OpenFOAM; multifysik;

    Abstract : In recent years there has been a revision of the molten salt nuclear reactor concept for production of power. Moving of fissile material throughout the primary circuit for these types of reactors creates the necessity of novel physics solvers to study movement of delayed neutron precursors, plant operation, accident scenario's; crucial for design.

  5. 19. Feasibility study on Thermal Anemometry at LWR conditions

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Abishek Baskar; [2021]
    Keywords : Nuclear Enginnering; Thermal-Hydraulics; Instrumentation; Material technology; Fluid Dynamics. Light water reactors;

    Abstract : Dryout and Departure from Nucleate boiling (DNB) are utmost thermal-hydraulic concerns for the safety of LWRs. The behavior of two-phase flows at these conditions is still not fully understood. There is at least a need for a good local velocity and void fraction database at these conditions. READ MORE

  6. 20. Validating results from the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment by use of turbulent CFD simulations : A study of a modified U-tube shell-and-tube primary heat exchanger and radiator with molten salts

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Abstract : Background Nuclear reactors utilizing molten fuels rather than solid fuels show a massive advantage in energy yield, waste handling and safety features. The only successful reactor utilizing a molten fuel was called the ‘Molten Salt Reactor Experiment’ (MSRE), built and operated in the Oak Ridge national laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, U.S.A.
