  1. 16. Handover Communications in Software Operations - A Qualitative Study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Chad Todd; [2022]
    Keywords : Handover Communications; Common Ground; Joint Activity; Software Systems; Software Operations; Adaptive Capacity; Confidence; FLMU06; Technology and Engineering; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The passing of information through handover communications is essential in many workplaces. Such handover communication is for example crucial in health care institutions, in nuclear power and in software operations. Handover communications in software operations happen on a daily basis much like in health care. READ MORE

  3. 17. 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. 18. Emergency Preparedness Process Proposal for Radiological Incidents at Accelerator Driven Facilities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Leonie Victoria Stieren; [2021]
    Keywords : accelerator driven facilities; emergency response; crisis management; radiological hazard; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an accelerator driven research facility under construction. Once commissioned, a linear accelerator supplies protons to a target, whereupon neutrons are generated through a process called “spallation”. Neutron beam time will be available for a variety of scientific experiments. READ MORE

  5. 19. Validating results from the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment by use of turbulent CFD simulations : A study of a modified U-tube shell-and-tube primary heat exchanger and radiator with molten salts

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Abstract : Background Nuclear reactors utilizing molten fuels rather than solid fuels show a massive advantage in energy yield, waste handling and safety features. The only successful reactor utilizing a molten fuel was called the ‘Molten Salt Reactor Experiment’ (MSRE), built and operated in the Oak Ridge national laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, U.S.A.

  6. 20. Improved methodology for postulated fuel handling accident

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Max Fagerberg; [2020]
    Keywords : ANSYS LS-DYNA; FEM; nuclear fuel; solid mechanics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This report presents a suggestion of an improved method for evaluation of a fuel handling accidents. Using a 3D FE-model and ANSYS LS-DYNA EXT the structural analysis is carried out. Importing geometry from SpaceClaim and simplifying it creates the geometry used in this analysis. READ MORE
