  1. 1. Uncertainty Analysis : Severe Accident Scenario at a Nordic Nuclear Power Plant

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Josefin Hedly; Mikaela De Young; [2023]
    Keywords : Nuclear power plant; microdata analysis; Random Forest; k-Nearest Neighbor; SVM;

    Abstract : Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) undergo fault and sensitivity analysis with scenario modelling to predict catastrophic events, specifically releases of Cesium 137 (Cs-137). The purpose of this thesis is to find which of 108 input-features from Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP)simulation code are important, when there is large release of Cs-137 emissions.

  3. 2. The role of nuclear energy

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Ali Ayoub; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The societies in Europe have developed enormously in recent decades, and this in turn has led to a greater need for electricity. Large parts of society are electrified and are now one of the most essential parts of the system. READ MORE

  4. 3. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc

    University essay from

    Author : Jonathan Sundström; [2022-09-09]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Nuclear power plant; Radiation dose; Effective dose; Lifetime attributable risk; LAR; Fallout; Inhalation; Strontium-90; Iodine-131; Cloudshine;

    Abstract : Today, emergency preparedness is needed against both nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear weapons fallout. Both scenarios can lead to exposure of ionizing radiation. Upon exposure, radionuclides will incur a radiation dose both internally and externally. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling of liquid leakage with ASTEC in a severe accident of a PWR

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Thomas Begey; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Modelling; Iodine Chemstry; Nuclear Safety; Kärnfysik; modellering; jodkemi; kärnsäkerhet;

    Abstract : In a nuclear reactor, in case of a severe accident occurs, backup circuits are usedlike SIS and CSS, flooding the reactor with water. This might lead to many liquidleakages outside the reactor containment building. READ MORE

  6. 5. Environmental radiation measurements at Barsebäck nuclear power plant during the decommissioning phase

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Patrik Dahlström; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. READ MORE
