  1. 6. Load following with a passive reactor core using the SPARC design

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sebastian Svanström; [2016]
    Keywords : Nuclear physics; fast reactors; load following; metal cooled fast reactor; SFR; sodium cooled fast reactor; NPP; SPARC; ARC; battery core;

    Abstract : This thesis is a follow up on "SPARC fast reactor design: Design of two passively metal-fuelled sodium-cooled pool-type small modular fast reactors with Autonomous Reactivity Control" by Tobias Lindström (2015). In this thesis the two reactors designed by Lindström in said thesis were evaluated. READ MORE

  3. 7. UO-2 vs MOX: Propagated nuclear data uncertainty with burnup using Fast Total Monte Carlo

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Petter Helgesson; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Precise assessment of propagated nuclear data uncertainties in integral reactor quantities is necessary for the development of new reactors as well as for modified use, e.g. when replacing UO-2 fuel by MOX fuel in conventional thermal reactors. READ MORE

  4. 8. Control rod drop during hot zero power : RIA in BWR

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Malin Fritz; [2013]
    Keywords : Control rod; RIA; BWR;

    Abstract : During operation of nuclear power reactors reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) can occur, such as a control rod drop. If this occurs, the reactivity increase dramatically and leads to an increase in power, fuel enthalpy and fuel temperature. The fuel and reactor can be damaged. READ MORE

  5. 9. Residual Heat and Corrosion Processes in the ELECTRA-Reactor Concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Homan Moosavi Sigaroodi; [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
