  1. 16. The European pressurized-water reactor between narratives and policies: exploring the French nuclear reactor design with a feasibility framework to assess wider implications for France and the EU

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Simone Della Coletta; [2023]
    Keywords : EPR; nuclear; feasibility; narrative; policy; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : With fossil fuel-dependencies affecting energy generation, and renewables being contextually limited by intermittency and dispatchability issues, this work explores European Pressurized-water Reactors (EPRs) as a nuclear-based climate mitigation measure in France and in the EU. Through its conceptual framework, this paper evaluates the technical potential of EPRs through the gate-keeping effect of initiative feasibility and narrative analysis. READ MORE

  3. 17. Investigation of plasma cleaning on molybdenum crystals for diagnostic mirrors in fusion devices

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hafssa Laabadi; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the long-term energy scenario, nuclear fusion is a promising low-carbon and sustainable energy source. The unavoidable exposure of the wall materials to the plasma is a big challenge in realizing a fusion reactor. The plasma-facing components (PFCs) in the reactor wall will experience erosion deposition in the surface materials. READ MORE

  4. 18. Ogräsfrönas överlevnad i biogasanläggningar : en litteraturgenomgång och ansats till metaanalys

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elin Strömberg; [2023]
    Keywords : anaerobisk nerbrytning; biogas; biogasreaktor; biogödsel; dödlighet; frö; ogräs; retentionstid; rötning; rötrest; rötslam; substrat; temperatur; överlevnad;

    Abstract : Sveriges energibehov 2020 var 508 TWh och av det är kärnkraft, biobränsle, olja och vattenkraft de viktigaste energislagen. På grund av att biogasproduktion har ett netto noll utsläpp har regeringen har valt att investera 40% av klimatklivets budget till dessa projekt. READ MORE

  5. 19. Evaluation of the Industrial Feasibility of Hydrogen Production with Small Modular Reactors : With insights from a case study in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Elias Ljunggren; [2023]
    Keywords : Small Modular Reactors; SMR; Hydrogen; Levelized Cost of Hydrogen; Hydrogen Purchase Agreement; Små Modulära Reaktorer; SMR; Vätgas; Utjämnad Kostnad för Vätgas; Vätgasköpavtal;

    Abstract : This report conducts an in-depth examination of the potential for Small Modular Reactor (SMR)-based hydrogen production in Sweden's emerging nuclear market. Aligned with Sweden's ambitious targets of achieving carbon dioxide neutrality by 2045 and transitioning its steel and industry sectors to fossil-free production by 2035, the report explores the unique value proposition that a focal company can offer.
