1. Improved Modelling For Oxidation Of Zircalloy Fuel Cladding Tubes In PWRs
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : The fuel cladding is an essential component in the defence-in-depth strategy for nuclear safety. Its integrity and durability are therefore critical for maintaining acceptable safety conditions. However, the integrity of the cladding can be compromised during normal operation due to corrosion and hydriding. READ MORE

2. High spatial resolution study of local corrosion effects on BWR-fuel cladding : Using a combined method of GEANT4 and lwrChem
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : The core of a BWR constitutes a highly complex radiational and chemical environment. Nuclear fission is utilized to generate power and as a consequence, large quantities of ionizing radiation are produced. Gamma and beta-particles along with neutrons have the sufficient ranges to escape the fuel rods and deposit energy in the reactor coolant. READ MORE

3. Life cycle analysis of retrofit solutions for brake emission
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : This Master Thesis project is focused on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of retrofit solutions for brake emission and the comparison of each solution. Background research was performed to check possible solutions to the Particulate Matter (PM) problem that non-exhaust emissions contribute to. READ MORE

4. III-V semiconductor waveguides for application in nonlinear optics.
University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikAbstract : This thesis presents studies on III-V semiconductor waveguides with particular emphasis on second-order optical nonlinearity. The nonlinear processes that were investigated in this thesis are the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) and the Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC). READ MORE

5. Simulation of IB-LOCA in TRACE : A semi-blind study of numerical simulations compared to the PKL test facility
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : This thesis studied the performance of the thermal hydraulic software TRACE applied on an intermediate sized break (IB) happening on the cold leg in a pressurized water reactor (PWR), causing a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The same accident has previously been simulated in the PKL Test Facility, which is a scaled version of a PWR and is used to simulate transients stemming from different accidents. READ MORE
