  1. 6. Qualification of a Physical Model of Cladding Creep During Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Robin Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dry Storage; Thermal Creep; Zircaloy-4; Pellet-Cladding Interaction; Torrt Förvar; Termisk Krypning; Zircaloy-4; Kuts-Kapsling Interaktion;

    Abstract : In dry interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, thermal creep is one of the major threats to the fuel cladding integrity due to the constant decay heat generation from the fission products and minor actinides in the fuel, and the increase in fuel rod internal pressure which is present after burnup. Plenty of research has been done on either empty cladding tubes irradiated in a research reactor, or on spent fuel that is defueled prior to the examination. READ MORE

  3. 7. Power Increase Limits to Prevent Pellet-Cladding Interaction : Calculation of Strain- and Fission Gas Release Margins

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Viktor Nerlander; [2022]
    Keywords : pci; fuel damage; FRAPCON; FRAPTRAN; FPO;

    Abstract : With a growing share of intermittent electrical energy sources in the national grid of Sweden, areview of the safety of using nuclear power for flexible operation is necessary. Today nuclearpower is used as base load power and when examining challenges of flexible power operation,the risk for Pellet-Cladding Interaction (PCI), stands out. READ MORE

  4. 8. Uncertainty & Sensitivity Analysis of Nuclear Fuel Using Transuranus & Dakota

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Udyanth Vaidya; [2021]
    Keywords : Nuclear; Nuclear Energy; SUNRISE; Transuranus; Dakota; LFR; Lead cooled fast reactor; Simulations; modelling; fuel performance code;

    Abstract : With the initiative taken by the SUNRISE project (Sustainable Nuclear Energy Research in Sweden) to construct a Lead-cooled research reactor, this thesis intends to extend the knowledge within nuclear fuel development. By using integral iterative modelling and simulating techniques that mimic real-world phenomena, novel fuel materials like uranium nitride are assessed for future validation. READ MORE

  5. 9. The Gay Bath-house - a Case Study of a Potential Gay-Bathhouse at Liljeholmsbadet

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Edwin Östlund Stockman; [2021]
    Keywords : gay bath-house; swimming pools; saunas; queer-theory; queer spaces;

    Abstract : This case study was written to explore the different branches of queer theory and its links to the architecture of bath-houses. This, from both a historicaland a modern-day societal perspective. READ MORE

  6. 10. Investigation of High-Temperature Sensors for Tube Monitoring Applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Andreas Sving; [2021]
    Keywords : high-temperature; thermal spray; laser micromachining; laser cladding; stain gauge; thermocouple;

    Abstract : This report covers the investigation of the next generation of sensors to be used in the sensor based tube system known as SentusysTM. One essential feature of the next generation of sensors is high-temperature endurance. READ MORE
