1. 1. Reactor Chemistry in LWR SMRs : Determination of the rate constant for the reaction between boric acid and hydroxyl radicals

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

   Author : Fredrik Petersson; [2023]
   Keywords : LWR; SMR; Water chemistry; Radiolysis; Boric acid; LWR; SMR; vattenkemi; Radiolys; Borsyra; Hydroxylradikal;

   Abstract : Ett problem vid byggandet av nya kärnkraftverk för elproduktion är de stora investeringskostnaderna samt den långa tiden det att få tillstånd för en reaktor och bygga den. Nyligen färdigställdes den tredje reaktorn vid Olkiluoto I Finland, den tog 18 år att färdigställa exklusive tiden att få tillstånd för reaktorn. READ MORE

3. 2. Improved Modelling For Oxidation Of Zircalloy Fuel Cladding Tubes In PWRs

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Rafaël Bellachia; [2023]
   Keywords : Nuclear Engineering; Corrosion; Zircalloy; PWR; Nuclear Fuel; Kärnteknik; Korrosion; Zircalloy; PWR; Kärnbränsle;

   Abstract : The fuel cladding is an essential component in the defence-in-depth strategy for nuclear safety. Its integrity and durability are therefore critical for maintaining acceptable safety conditions. However, the integrity of the cladding can be compromised during normal operation due to corrosion and hydriding. READ MORE

4. 3. Deep Neural Networks as SurrogateModels for Fuel Performance Codes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Wenhan Zhou; [2023]
   Keywords : Transuranus; AI; Nuclear Fuel Rods;

   Abstract : The core component of a nuclear power plant is the reactor and the fuel rods that supply it with fission fuel. Efficient and safe energy extraction is thus highly dependent on the reactor design and the conditions of the fuel rods. To anticipate high-quality operation and potential risks in advance, one must perform simulations on the fuel rods. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. 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
