  1. 1. Propagation of Nuclear Data Uncertainties for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It could be argued that a renaissance is taking place for the global interest in nuclear power - especially for the development of the next generation of reactor systems that aim at solving the problems with contemporary energy production with nuclear technology. One such proposed concept for Gen IV nuclear power is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), in which the nuclear fuel is in solution of a salt - often based on fluorine or chlorine. READ MORE

  3. 3. Safeguards Licensing Aspects of a Future Generation IV Demonstration Facility : A Case Study

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Matilda Åberg Lindell; [2010]
    Keywords : safeguards; Generation IV; lead-cooled fast reactor;

    Abstract : Generation IV (Gen IV) is a developing new generation of nuclear power reactors which is foreseen to bring about a safer and more sustainable production of nuclear power. A Swedish research program called GENIUS aims at developing the Gen IV technology, with emphasis on lead-cooled fast reactors. READ MORE

  4. 4. Hydrogen production using high temperature nuclear reactors : A feasibility study

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Viktor Sivertsson; [2010]
    Keywords : HTGR; HTR; VHTR; Hydrogen; Nuclear power; Generation IV; Generation 4; Gen IV; Gen 4;

    Abstract : The use of hydrogen is predicted to increase substantially in the future, both as chemical feedstock and also as energy carrier for transportation. The annual world production of hydrogen amounts to some 50 million tonnes and the majority is produced using fossil fuels like natural gas, coal and naphtha. READ MORE
