    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Ismael Safi; [2017]
    Keywords : KBS-3; Repository; Radiation; Bentonite; Montmorillonite;

    Abstract : In the Swedish concept for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel, referred to as KBS-3, a three-layered protection system is used. The system consists of a copper canister holding the spent nuclear fuel deposited 500 meters in a repository built in groundwater saturated granitic rock. READ MORE

  3. 7. Development of a Detector System for Detection of Thermal Neutrons from Spent Nuclear Fuel

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

    Author : Daniel Söderström; [2016]
    Keywords : neutron detection; neutron; 10B; boron-10; nuclear physics; boron; neutron detector; scintillator; boron carbide; B4C; nuclear fuel; repository; SKB; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The nuclear reaction 10B(n,alpha)7Li* was utilised to develop a neutron detection system. This system has the purpose of being used to detect the thermal neutron radiation emitted by spent nuclear fuel, before it is transported to a final repository. READ MORE

  4. 8. Talking to the Future - about Radioactivity : Understanding Radioactivity Through Everyday Product Interactions
