1. 16. From AEC to NRC: A Paradigm Shift in U.S. Nuclear Energy Regulation and its Consequences for the Industry

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Benjamin Leopardo; [2023]
   Keywords : regulation; nuclear energy; energy economics; industrial organization; synthetic control;

   Abstract : Concerns over energy security and climate change are pushing countries to reconsider their stances on nuclear energy and plan new buildouts. The success of nuclear energy has historically varied greatly, depending to a great extent on the legal and regulatory environment. READ MORE

3. 17. Total Monte Carlo of the fission model in GEF and its influence on the nuclear evaporation in TALYS

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Karlsson Peter; [2023]
   Keywords : physics; nuclear physics; fission; neutron-induced; evaporation; Hauser-Feshbach; GEF; TALYS; Total Monte Carlo; TMC; fysik; kärnfysik; neutron-inducerad;

   Abstract : Features recently added to the nuclear reaction software TALYS allow the use of the GEF model as a fission fragment generator. GEF generates data for fission fragment yields, total excitation energy (TXE), total kinetic energy (TKE) and individual fragment excitation energies (E*) with their standard deviations through Monte Carlo simulations for TALYS.

4. 18. Optimization of Gammasphere Data Following the Nuclear Reaction 36Ar + 24Mg → 60Zn∗

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Paul Böhm; [2023]
   Keywords : re-calibration; Gammasphere; 54Fe; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experiment.

5. 19. High spatial resolution study of local corrosion effects on BWR-fuel cladding : Using a combined method of GEANT4 and lwrChem

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Martin Nilsson Lind; [2023]
   Keywords : fission; zircaloy; corrosion; radiolysis; radiation; BWR; Monte Carlo; GEANT4; lwrChem;

   Abstract : The core of a BWR constitutes a highly complex radiational and chemical environment. Nuclear fission is utilized to generate power and as a consequence, large quantities of ionizing radiation are produced. Gamma and beta-particles along with neutrons have the sufficient ranges to escape the fuel rods and deposit energy in the reactor coolant. READ MORE

6. 20. A VVER1000 primary side model in Apros

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Karl-Edvin Strand; [2023]
   Keywords : Apros; VVER1000; PWR; Modelling; HPIS; Boron acid; Apros; VVER1000; PWR; Modellering; HPIS; Borsyra;

   Abstract : Nuclear power plants generate electricity by means of splitting atoms. The basic safety requirements and objectives are to protect the people, society, and the environment from radiological accidents, limit harmful effects of ionizing radiation during operation and take all reasonable practical steps to prevent radiological accidents.
