  1. 11. Residual Heat and Corrosion Processes in the ELECTRA-Reactor Concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Hassan Hammodi; [2012]
    Keywords : Residual heat; FeCrAl Corrosion; ELECTRA; Cladding Temperature;

    Abstract : ELECTRA is a Swedish training reactor concept that will use fourth generation nuclear reactor technology, and is cooled by natural circulation of liquid lead. During a fuel inspection the reactor vessel has to be emptied on metal coolant and the power must be shutoff, this can lead to a meltdown. READ MORE

  3. 13. SPATIAL DEPENDENCE OF REACTIVITY COEFFICIENTS

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Sideeg Salah; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to study and understand the behavior of the reactivity coefficients (RCs) in a boiling water reactor (BWR) partially within 25 different segments with different void fractions, with enriched oxide fuel (UOX) core, as well as to evaluate the methodologies exposed in [10]. These two normalization  methods (described in chapter 3) are used to analyse the contribution of each segment of the core having different regions (fuel, clad, coolant, moderator and channel box) to the RCs.
