1. 6. PARAMETRIC STUDY FOR WALL-TO-WALL CONNECTION IN MIXED STEEL CONCRETE STRUCTURES

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Simone De Troia; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis work is to study the connection between two Steel Concrete Structures (SCS) wall modules using embedded connection bars. The SCSs under investigation consist of two steel faceplates held together by tie bars, concrete is cast inside, and stress transmission between the concrete and the steel plates is provided by shear connectors as headed studs.

3. 7. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Steven Hendrik Bijl; [2023]
   Keywords : Heavy Ions; Machine Learning;

   Abstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

4. 8. Pre-study for SMR and Nuclear Establishment in Norway

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Johan Stefan Nordström; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy mapping; Nuclear power; SMR; small modular reactors; siting; Norway; Energy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. READ MORE

5. 9. Assessment of How Design and Operational Parameters Affect Plutonium Production for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors : A Study of the Ågesta, NRX and CANDU Reactors

   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

6. 10. The European pressurized-water reactor between narratives and policies: exploring the French nuclear reactor design with a feasibility framework to assess wider implications for France and the EU

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Simone Della Coletta; [2023]
   Keywords : EPR; nuclear; feasibility; narrative; policy; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : With fossil fuel-dependencies affecting energy generation, and renewables being contextually limited by intermittency and dispatchability issues, this work explores European Pressurized-water Reactors (EPRs) as a nuclear-based climate mitigation measure in France and in the EU. Through its conceptual framework, this paper evaluates the technical potential of EPRs through the gate-keeping effect of initiative feasibility and narrative analysis. READ MORE
