  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. VALIDATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF NEUTRON NOISE DETERMINISTIC AND MONTE CARLO SOLVERS (APOLLO3® AND TRIPOLI-4®) : APPLICATION TO THE CROCUS RESEARCH REACTOR

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Adrien Dinard; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : At CEA Paris-Saclay, studies have been conducted to develop numerical tools for neutron noise, and more precisely to add them to the already existing neutronics codes both deterministic and stochastic. The goal of this master thesis is to improve the results of the stochastic (Monte Carlo) code implemented in TRIPOLI-4® at CEA. READ MORE

  4. 3. Validation and Benchmarking of Westinghouse BWR lattice physics methods

    University essay from KTH/Reaktorteknologi

    Author : Karol Luszczek; [2015]
    Keywords : Serpent; HELIOS; lattice physics; benchmarking; Monte Carlo; neutronics; reactor physics;

    Abstract : A lattice physics code is a vital tool, forming a base of reactor coreanalysis. It enables the neutronic properties of the fuel assembly to becalculated and generates a proper set of data to be used by a 3-D full coresimulator. READ MORE

  5. 4. POLCA-T Neutron Kinetics Model Benchmarking

    University essay from KTH/Reaktorteknologi

    Author : Jurij Kotchoubey; [2015]
    Keywords : POLCA-T; Neutronics; Neutron Kinetics; Benchmarking; Reactor Kinetics; Space-Time Kinetics; Reactor Physics; POLCA-T; Kinetik; Neutronkinetik; Benchmarking; Reaktorfysik;

    Abstract : The demand for computational tools that are capable to reliably predict the behavior of a nuclear reactor core in a variety of static and dynamic conditions does inevitably require a proper qualification of these tools for the intended purposes. One of the qualification methods is the verification of the code in question. READ MORE
