  1. 1. Applications of steel-plate composite structures for nuclear modular construction

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Yann Vicedo; [2021]
    Keywords : nuclear concrete structures; modular construction; steel-plate composite modules; kärnkraftsbetongkonstruktioner; modulär konstruktion; kompositmoduler av stålplåt;

    Abstract : Despite being the world’s second most important low-carbon source of electricity, the development of nuclear capacities is limited and does not comply with the International Energy Agency’s Sustainable Development Scenario. One of the main reasons for this lack of development is high and increasing costs of new nuclear capacities. READ MORE
