1. 1. Development of a computational method for determining gamma energy escape from calorimeters at CLAB

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Amela Mehic; [2022]
   Keywords : Nuclear physics; Calorimeter; SNF; MCNP; Dose rate; CLAB; Gamma energy; Fuel assembly; Form function; Attenuation coefficient; Gamma spectroscopy;

   Abstract : Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company- SKB has conducted measurement campaigns at the Swedish central interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel- CLAB over the years, extending from year 2003 to 2019 where the gamma energy escape was acquired. At CLAB the spent nuclear fuel assembly is inserted into the calorimeter; device intended to measure temperature increase due to decay heat from the fuel assembly. READ MORE

   Abstract : It is important to know the heat generated due to nuclear decay in the final repository for spent nuclear fuel. In Sweden, the heating powers generated in spent nuclear fuels are currently measured in the calorimeter System 251 at the Clab facility, Oskarshamn. READ MORE

4. 3. Detection of voids in welded joints using ultrasonic inspection : Quality control of welded joints in copper canisters for purpose of permanent storage of used nuclear waste

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : Bakhtiar Afzalan; [2021]
   Keywords : Ultrasonic inspection; Nuclear waste; Nuclear waste storage; welded joints;

   Abstract : This thesis was done i cooperation with SKB Clab in Oskarshamn and studies use of sonic waves for detecting voids and irregularities in the weld joints of copper capsules used for long term storage of radioactive waste. Since these could pose material failure and thereby risk radioactive contamination of ground water it is very important to find means of quality control before storage. READ MORE

5. 4. Compilation and evaluation of validations of computer codes for spent nuclear fuel – a review

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

   Author : Staffan Fors; [2019]
   Keywords : Nuclear fuel; Kärnbränsle; Slutförvar; Fissionsprodukter; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. READ MORE

6. 5. Alternative measuring approaches in gamma scanning on spent nuclear fuel

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Karen Sihm Kvenangen; [2007]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In the future, the demand for energy is predicted to grow and more countries plan to utilize nuclear energy as their source of electric energy. This gives rise to many important issues connected to nuclear energy, such as finding methods that can verify that the spent nuclear fuel has been handled safely and used in ordinary power producing cycles as stated by the operators.
