    Abstract : Asset management within the nuclear industry has become an increasingly relevant topic as safety requirements have tightened and energy security has become more important. Asset management ensures performance and reliability in a nuclear facility by balancing costs, opportunities, and risks to get the most out of assets. READ MORE

  3. 2. A False Sense of Security? - A Critical Analysis of the Civilian Protection Against Attacks on Nuclear Power Plants in International Armed Conflicts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Juridiska fakulteten

    Author : Sam Boekelman; [2022]
    Keywords : Folkrätt; Public international law; International humanitarian law; International armed conflicts; Nuclear power plants; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Mot bakgrund av kriget mellan Ryssland och Ukraina i närheten av kärnkraft-verket i Zaporizjzja frågar sig många hur civilbefolkningar i dag är skyddade mot en potentiell kärnkraftskatastrof orsakad av krig. Syftet med denna upp-sats är således att undersöka vilka bestämmelser som finns för att skydda ci-vila mot militära attacker på kärnkraftverk i internationella väpnade konflikter, samt att undersöka hur effektivt de nämnda bestämmelserna skyddar civila.

  4. 3. The Radiological Footprint of a Be-based Neutron Source

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Sharareh Koufigar; [2015]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The radiological footprint of a Be-based neutron source embedded within the Aquarium of the Source-Testing Facility (STF) at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University will soon be carefully mapped. As a precursor to this measurement program, neutron and gamma-ray energy spectra at beamport apertures have been measured using 3He and LaBr3(Ce) (cerium-activated lanthanum bromide) detectors.

  5. 4. Role of Nuclear Energy in Japan Post–Fukushima : Alternatives and their Impact on Japan’s GHG Emission Targets

    University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zarrar Niazi; [2013]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; GHG emissions; Nuclear Energy; Renewable Energy; Security of Supply;

    Abstract : The purpose of this paper, “Role of Nuclear Energy in Japan Post – Fukushima: Alternatives and their Impact onJapan’s GHG Emission Targets”, is to emphasize that Japan’s expected new energy policy must be in accordancewith its existing environmental targets with regards to GHG emissions. The main research question is how Japan cancontinue to meet its emissions targets in the aftermath of the Fukushima crisis, where public opinion—gaugedthrough newspaper articles—in Japan has now become outright anti-nuclear, and Japan has become compelled toadopt a new nuclear-free energy policy built around renewable energy.
