6. 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.

7. 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

8. Investigation of coarse-grid CFD approach for nuclear engineering application
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : In this thesis, an innovative coarse grid CFD approach is developed that aims toexploit the capabilities of sub-channel codes and CFD methods while overcoming theirlimitations. In the approach, a very coarse mesh is implemented in the CFD softwareOpenFOAM and a new wall treatment, based on the traditional concept of the wallfunction, is applied to the wall boundary conditions of the domain to take into accountthe low resolution of the grid which does not allow to effectively capture the effect of thesolid walls on the thermo-hydraulics of the flow.

9. Reliability Assessment of Passive ICS in an SMR as part of the PSA Analysis
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Passive safety systems are increasingly being utilized in prospective nuclear power plant designs. Indeed, the use of safety systems driven by natural phenomena might be seen as an unmitigated virtue. READ MORE

10. Assessment of How Design and Operational Parameters Affect Plutonium Production for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors : A Study of the Ågesta, NRX and CANDU Reactors
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskapAbstract : Nuclear weapons are an ever-present danger which threatens our very existence, which is whymany call for total nuclear disarmament. To do this, we need to know how many nuclear bombsthere are in the world. READ MORE
