  1. 11. 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 materialvetenskap

    Author : Isak Hedberg; Stina Fredriksson; Axel Hallander; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. 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.

  5. 14. Start of a new design method for a competitive Small Modular Reactor (SMR) adaptable to future uses

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Baptiste Mazurié; [2023]
    Keywords : Requirement modelling; Cyber-physical systems; Small Modular Reactor SMR ; Systems Engineering; CRML;

    Abstract : As cyber-physical systems become increasingly complex, the management and verification of requirements during design is essential. A new language called CRML (Common Requirement Modelling Language) has been created during the European EMBrACE project to formalize realistic dynamical requirements, but a method for representing these requirements and a framework for using them as a design aid must be defined to ease appropriation by engineers.

  6. 15. Monte Carlo analysis of BWR transients : A study on the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty methodology within safety analyses at Forsmark 3

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Jonathan Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : BEPU; Wilks; Uncertainty analysis; BISON; Monte Carlo; BWR; Osäkerhetsanalys; transientanalys; Forsmark;

    Abstract : Transient analyses at Forsmark nuclear power plant are currently performed using realistic computer models in conjunction with conservative estimates of initial- and boundary conditions. This is known as the combined methodology. READ MORE
