  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. Predicting Reactor Instability Using Neural Networks

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Hilborn Hubert; [2022]
    Keywords : Boiling Water Reactors; Density Wave Instability; Multi-Layer Perceptron; Support Vector Regression; Kernel-Ridge Regression;

    Abstract : The study of the instabilities in boiling water reactors is of significant importance to the safety withwhich they can be operated, as they can cause damage to the reactor posing risks to both equipmentand personnel. The instabilities that concern this paper are progressive growths in the oscillatingpower of boiling-water reactors. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Development of a Nordic BWR plant model in APROS and design of a power controller using the control rods

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jonathan Al-Ani; [2021]
    Keywords : APROS; Dynamic process simulation; System code; Nuclear reactor; nuclear power; BWR; Boiling Water Reactor; closed cycle; steam cycle; one-dimensional flow; Westinghouse; control rods; APROS; Dynamisk processimulering; Beräkningsmodell; Kärnkraft; BWR; Kokvattenreaktor; ångcykel; en-dimensionell flödesmodell; Westinghouse; kontrollstavar;

    Abstract : In this master thesis an input-model of a Nordic BWR power plant has been developed in APROS. The plant model contains key systems and major thermohydraulic components of the steam cycle, including I&C systems (i.e. power, pressure, level and flow controls). READ MORE

  6. 5. A Numerical Study of Melt Pool Heat Transfer in the IVR of a PWR

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Yuer Zhao; [2021]
    Keywords : In-vessel melt retention; corium pool; Zr oxidation ratio; melt pool convection; CFD; SST k-ω turbulence model; Smältretention i kärlet; koriumpöl; Zr-oxidationsförhållande; konvektion i en smältpöl; CFD; SST k-ω turbulensmodell;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to provide the thermal condition of melt pool convection by CFD simulation, which is important to the assessment of the invessel melt retention (IVR) strategy widely adopted in Generation III pressurized water reactors (PWRs). As a severe accident mitigation measure, the IVR strategy is realized through external cooling of the lower head of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV). READ MORE
