  1. 1. Powering Sustainable Development with SMRs - A qualitative study examining the potential effects of Small Modular Reactor deployment in Southern Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Alixander Kanaan; Marcus Magnusson; [2023-07-19]
    Keywords : Small modular reactors; Sustainability; Eco-Innovation;

    Abstract : Europe has been immensely impacted by the recent turmoil in the continent and an energy crisis has emerged. Energy prices have soared over a period of two years and the price of energy is still at elevated levels throughout Europe and a high dependency on fossil fuels for energy production has become inevitable.

  3. 2. Computational Fluid Dynamics and Modeling of a Free Surface Flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mathieu Marmier; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; Free Surface Flow; VOF; STAR-CCM ; Multiphase Simulation; Nuclear Engineering; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This project deals with the CFD modelling of a free surface flow. The aim is to develop and validate a fast and accurate numerical model for stratified two-phase flows. Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model is employed. The purpose is to use the developed numerical model for the design of an element within a compact nuclear reactor. READ MORE

  4. 3. Risk Implications of Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Implementations: the Case of the Nordics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Denis Mijolović; [2023]
    Keywords : Small Modular Nuclear Reactors; Nuclear Energy; Energy Policy; Energy Transition; Risk Management; Scandinavian Energy Strategy;

    Abstract : Climate change is no novelty – we witness its disastrous impact more and more by each day. Although we already started envisaging a future where the vitality of our societies is derived not from conventional fossil fuels, but from a sophisticated, clean, and steadfast energy source – the latest benchmarks tracked by leading global energy agencies show grim performance, thereby calling for an intervention.

  5. 4. Non-proliferation and safeguards aspects of SMR’s in Sweden : A study on the future electricity demand in Sweden and the implications on nuclear safeguards from the deployment of SMRs in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Waldemar Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : SMR; Small modular reactor; Safeguards; Non-proliferation;

    Abstract : This project aims to investigate and analyze crucial aspects related to the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. SMRs have risen as a competitor to large-scale nuclear power plants with cost-competitiveness and cogeneration purposes in focus. READ MORE

  6. 5. Propagation of Nuclear Data Uncertainties for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It could be argued that a renaissance is taking place for the global interest in nuclear power - especially for the development of the next generation of reactor systems that aim at solving the problems with contemporary energy production with nuclear technology. One such proposed concept for Gen IV nuclear power is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), in which the nuclear fuel is in solution of a salt - often based on fluorine or chlorine. READ MORE
