  1. 21. Feasibility of HALEU-loaded Breed-and-Burn Molten Salt Fast Reactor without Online Actinide Treatment

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Lei Shi; [2023]
    Keywords : Molten salt; Chloride fuel; Fast reactor; Breed-and-Burn; Smält salt; kloridbränsle; snabbreaktor; avel och bränning;

    Abstract : Molten Salt Fast Reactors (MSFRs) have prominent advantages such as fuel breeding, nuclear waste transmutation, and inherent safety. They are the only liquid-fueled nuclear reactors currently receiving significant attention as fourth-generation advanced nuclear systems. READ MORE

  3. 22. Pulse Shape Analysis of Si Detector Signals from Fission Fragments using the LOHENGRIN Spectrometer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Dimitrios Papaioannou; [2023]
    Keywords : plasma delay time; PDT; pulse shape analysis; waveform; LOHENGRIN; nuclear; fission;

    Abstract : Nuclear physics experiments typically involve the collection and analysis of detector signals produced by the interaction of subatomic particles with matter to deduce various quantities. When heavy ions are involved, Si Detector signals are distorted by the formation of a plasma-like cloud from the interaction between the heavy ions and the detector material. READ MORE

  4. 23. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc

    University essay from

    Author : Jonathan Sundström; [2022-09-09]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Nuclear power plant; Radiation dose; Effective dose; Lifetime attributable risk; LAR; Fallout; Inhalation; Strontium-90; Iodine-131; Cloudshine;

    Abstract : Today, emergency preparedness is needed against both nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear weapons fallout. Both scenarios can lead to exposure of ionizing radiation. Upon exposure, radionuclides will incur a radiation dose both internally and externally. READ MORE

  5. 24. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

  6. 25. BWR Reactor Fuel Channel Manufacturing Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Kalle Norell; [2022]
    Keywords : Bending; Boiling water reactor; Fuel channel; FEM; Bockning; Kokvattenreaktor; Höljerör; FEM;

    Abstract : Fuel channels are used to keep the components of a nuclear fuel bundle in place. The fuel channel of a new nuclear fuel which is being developed at Westinghouse has a complex geometry which creates challenges in the manufacturing process. FE simulations were developed of a two-stage forming process of the fuel channel. READ MORE
