1. Uncertainty Analysis : Severe Accident Scenario at a Nordic Nuclear Power Plant
University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknikAbstract : Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) undergo fault and sensitivity analysis with scenario modelling to predict catastrophic events, specifically releases of Cesium 137 (Cs-137). The purpose of this thesis is to find which of 108 input-features from Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP)simulation code are important, when there is large release of Cs-137 emissions.

2. Uptake and retainment of radionuclides in edible mushrooms – from fruiting to cooking
University essay fromAbstract : Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study the uptake, distribution and transfer of Mn-54, Zn-65, U-238, U-235, U-234, and Po-210 in mushrooms and their respective caps and stalks, the effects of chelates and ligands, and the potential release of radionuclides during a cooking procedure. Introduction: Fungi are organisms that are composed of a fruiting body (mushroom) and tubular hyphae, that branches out into complex networks called mycelium. READ MORE

3. Monte-Carlo response for mobile gamma spectroscopy in fallout affected residential areas
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : Historically, two nuclear power plant incidents have led to major releases of radioactive isotopes into the environment. In the unfortunate event that such an incident would occur in Sweden, the national emergency preparedness has set-up carborne detector systems which can be used to map radionuclides in fallout affected areas.

4. Simulation of Anti-Compton Shield Augmentation to the Lundium Decay Station Using Geant4
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The Lundium decay station improves on the existing TASISpec spectrometer used to investigate the nuclear structure of superheavy nuclei by photon- and charged particle-spectroscopy. This thesis aims to explore the potential benefits of the future Lundium station with the augmentation of anti-Compton shields com- posed by a set of BGO scintillator bars. READ MORE

5. Measurements of radioactivity in plant and soil samples taken near a nuclear power plant
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaperAbstract : This project is a study of six soil and vegetation samples taken near the nuclear power plant at Ringhals, Sweden. The purpose was to detect any signs of radioactivity in the soil and vegetation originating from the plant, while simultaneously giving insight on the advantages and limitations of using equipment from the radioecology lab at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
