  1. 21. Investigation of the siting process of Swedish nuclear power plants using GIS

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Daniel Wollberg; Egil Morast; [2020]
    Keywords : GIS; Multi-criteria analysis; Nuclear power; Sweden;

    Abstract : In order to find the optimal placement for a nuclear power plant (NPP) many different factors have to be taken into consideration. Choosing the wrong location could result in higher construction costs and/or taking avoidable risks. GIS can be used to compare different spatial criteria efficiently. READ MORE

  3. 22. Exploring the application of neural networks in predictions of nuclear binding energies

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

    Author : Martin Waites; [2020]
    Keywords : neural networks; drip-line; nuclear physics; binding energy; exotic nuclei; Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project the locations of the proton and neutron drip-lines are predicted using neural networks and theoretical data obtained by applying the HFBTHO program. For each of the neural networks a comparison is made between neural network predictions and experimental data in the region experimental data exists. READ MORE

  4. 23. CFD Annular Flow Modelling Based on a Three-Field Approach

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Erik Skoog; [2020]
    Keywords : CFD; BWR; annular flow; deposition;

    Abstract : This master thesis aim to model the annular flow that occurs in the final section between the fuel rods inside Boiling Water Reactors, by approximating the geometry to a cylindrical pipe. Simulations were performed in the software ANSYS Fluent, as a step in the development of replacing the 1D correlations currently used in the nuclear industry with CFD models in 3D. READ MORE

  5. 24. Feasibility study of Magnetic Flow Meters for Molten Salt Reactors

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Sebastian Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Nuclear Engineering; Molten Salt Reactors; Magnetic Flow Meters;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the possibility of using magnetic flow meters to measure the flowrate of molten salts in Seaborg Technologies Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR).There is a need to accurately measure the flow rate in salt circulation systems to ensureproper operation of the entire facility.
