  1. 1. Determining the Sensitivity of Reactor Parameters in a Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Alexander Palfelt; Wilhelm Thunberg; Anders Winka; [2020]
    Keywords : serpent; SFR; sodium cooled fast reactor; generation 4;

    Abstract : The sensitivity of two operational output parameters, criticality and isotopic composition during burnup, to specific design and operational reactor parameters in a Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor, is investigated. The computational simulation tool Serpent is used. READ MORE

  3. 2. UO-2 vs MOX: Propagated nuclear data uncertainty with burnup using Fast Total Monte Carlo

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Petter Helgesson; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Precise assessment of propagated nuclear data uncertainties in integral reactor quantities is necessary for the development of new reactors as well as for modified use, e.g. when replacing UO-2 fuel by MOX fuel in conventional thermal reactors. READ MORE

  4. 3. CONQUER CORROSION : Key issues of the lead-cooled fast reactor design

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Mathias Hareland; [2011]
    Keywords : Nuclear power; Generation-IV; lead cooled fast reactor; LFR; corrosion; MAXTHAL; MYRRHA; Lead-bismuth eutectic; LBE;

    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

  5. 4. Transient behaviour in a BWR with Hafnium Cladding : Feasibility study of using BWRs as Higher Actinide Burners at the Example of Ringhals I

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Sebastian Raub; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transmutation of transuranic elements is of interest to lower storage unit cost and long-term radiotoxicity. To make use of existing infrastructure, the deployment of Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) with hafnium cladding and Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel was proposed, resulting in a hardening of the neutron spectrum.

  6. 5. Comparison of different nuclear fuel cycles for LWR applications

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Tobias Winblad von Walter; [2008]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nuclear power is considered a vital energy source, without greenhouse gas emissions, regarding the commitment towards sustainable energy systems. This is especially on the topic of the present climate debate. A central aspect of nuclear power is nuclear fuel. Presently Uranium dioxide (UOX) is the most common nuclear fuel in the world.
