1. 1. Effect of Proton Irradiation on the Mechanical Properties of Fe-10Cr-4Al in Liquid Lead

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Gabriela Lapinska; [2023]
   Keywords : Fe-10Cr-4Al; Lead; Radiation Damage; Slow Strain Rate Testing; Fe-10Cr-4Al; bly; strålskador; Slow Strain Rate Testing;

   Abstract : Among the structural materials under consideration for future lead-cooled fastreactors, special attention is paid to ferritic Fe-10Cr-4Al due to its superior corrosionand erosion protective properties, as well as its insensitivity to liquid metalembrittlement in liquid lead. This thesis gives an inside look into the radiation damageproperties of the alloy and the possible embrittlement scenarios. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. An investigation of fuel cycles and material flows for a lead-cooled fast reactor using the Monte Carlo code Serpent

   University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Kristina Moberg; [2012]
   Keywords : LFR; lead-cooled fast reactor; Serpent; Generation IV; ELECTRA; isotope composition; fuel;

   Abstract : The Monte Carlo code Serpent has been used to model the material flows andisotope compositions for a lead cooled fast reactor. The demonstration sized trainingreactor ELECTRA was chosen for the investigation, and different fuel cycle scenarioswere studied. READ MORE

   Abstract : The lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) is one of the concepts of the Generation IV reactorsystems. There are some issues that have to be solved before a research orcommercial LFR can be built. READ MORE

6. 5. Application of CFD to Safety and Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis of Lead-Cooled Systems

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Marti Jeltsov; [2011]
   Keywords : Coupled Codes; Verification Validation; CFD; System Thermal-Hydraulics; Lead Cooled sys-;

   Abstract : Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is increasingly being used in nuclear reactor safety analysis as a tool that enables safety related physical phenomena occurring in the reactor coolant system to be described in more detail and accuracy. Validation is a necessary step in improving predictive capability of a computationa code or coupled computational codes. READ MORE
