11. Improved Modelling For Oxidation Of Zircalloy Fuel Cladding Tubes In PWRs
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : The fuel cladding is an essential component in the defence-in-depth strategy for nuclear safety. Its integrity and durability are therefore critical for maintaining acceptable safety conditions. However, the integrity of the cladding can be compromised during normal operation due to corrosion and hydriding. READ MORE

12. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

13. Characterization of neutron detection efficiency in a liquid organic scintillator
University essay fromAbstract : Neutron detectors in the form of liquid organic scintillators are widely used for nuclear disarmament purposes. The main purpose of this thesis is to characterize the neutron detection efficiency of the organic liquid scintillator EJ-309 using Monte Carlo based simulations in the simulation program Geant4.

14. Deep Neural Networks as SurrogateModels for Fuel Performance Codes
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : The core component of a nuclear power plant is the reactor and the fuel rods that supply it with fission fuel. Efficient and safe energy extraction is thus highly dependent on the reactor design and the conditions of the fuel rods. To anticipate high-quality operation and potential risks in advance, one must perform simulations on the fuel rods. READ MORE

15. Pre-study for SMR and Nuclear Establishment in Norway
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. READ MORE
