1. 1. Fabrication and Characterization of UN-USix Nuclear Fuel

   University essay from KTH/Reaktorfysik

   Author : Alicia Marie Raftery; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this thesis, UN-U3Si2 nuclear fuel was fabricated using spark plasma sintering and characterized to analyze the microstructure and crystal structure of the resulting pellets. This work was done in collaboration with accident tolerant fuel research, an effort which aims at developing nuclear fuel with superior safety and performance compared to currently used oxide fuels.

3. 2. Investigation of Materials for Use in Exhaust Gas Condensate Environment with Focus on EGR systems

   University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

   Author : Andreas Olofsson; [2012]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) ar en teknik som anvands for dieselmotorer, for att mota de hart satta utslappskraven for kvaveoxider. EGR fungerar genom att en del av avgaserna aterfors till cylindrarna. Avgaserna gor sa att den maximala forbranningstemperaturen sanks, vilket kraftigt reducerar bildandet av kvaveoxider. READ MORE

4. 3. Manufacturing methods for (U-Zr)N-fuels

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Tobias Hollmer; [2011]
   Keywords : nuclear fuel; nitride fuel; uranium nitride; zirconium nitride; spark plasma sintering; solid solution; reaction kinetics; hydriding; nitriding; denitriding; uranium hydride; zirconium hydride; uranium zirconium alloy;

   Abstract : In this work a manufacturing method for UN, ZrN and (U,Zr)N pellets was established at the nuclear fuel laboratory at KTH Stockholm/Sweden, which consists of the production of nitride powders and their sintering into pellets by spark plasma sintering. The nitride powders were produced by the hydriding-nitriding route using pure metal as starting material. READ MORE
