1. 1. Deep Neural Networks as SurrogateModels for Fuel Performance Codes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Wenhan Zhou; [2023]
   Keywords : Transuranus; AI; Nuclear Fuel Rods;

   Abstract : The core component of a nuclear power plant is the reactor and the fuel rods that supply it with fission fuel. Efficient and safe energy extraction is thus highly dependent on the reactor design and the conditions of the fuel rods. To anticipate high-quality operation and potential risks in advance, one must perform simulations on the fuel rods. READ MORE

3. 2. 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
