  1. 1. Irradiation Embrittlement on a Core Shroud from Decommissioned BWR

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Åsa Bjåland; [2023]
    Keywords : hardness; Vickers hardness test; ATT; yield strength; irradiation embrittlement; welds; hårdhet; Vickers hårdhetstest; ATT; sträckgräns; bestrålningsförsprödning; svetsar;

    Abstract : Irradiation embrittlement is a problematic issue for internal structures, such as acore shroud, in a light water reactor. It is characterized by decreased ductility andtoughness, and increased yield strength and hardening due to increased dislocations. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effect of Proton Irradiation on the Mechanical Properties of Fe-10Cr-4Al in Liquid Lead

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Gabriela Lapinska; [2023]
    Keywords : Fe-10Cr-4Al; Lead; Radiation Damage; Slow Strain Rate Testing; Fe-10Cr-4Al; bly; strålskador; Slow Strain Rate Testing;

    Abstract : Among the structural materials under consideration for future lead-cooled fastreactors, special attention is paid to ferritic Fe-10Cr-4Al due to its superior corrosionand erosion protective properties, as well as its insensitivity to liquid metalembrittlement in liquid lead. This thesis gives an inside look into the radiation damageproperties of the alloy and the possible embrittlement scenarios. READ MORE

  4. 3. Degradation of Microplastic Residuals in Water by Visible Light Photocatalysis

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tajkia Syeed Tofa; [2018]
    Keywords : Microplastics; Low density Polyethylene LDPE ; Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation; Zinc oxide nanorods; Visible light.;

    Abstract : Microplastic (MP) pollution has recently been recognized as a threat to the biosphere including humans due to its widespread distribution, persistent nature and infinitesimal size. This study focused on the solid phase degradation of microplastic residues (particularly low density polyethylene, LDPE) in water through heterogeneous photocatalysis process by designed photocatalysts of zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) and platinum nanoparticles deposited on zincoxide nanorods (Pt NPs-ZnO NRs) under visible light irradiation.

  5. 4. Monte  Carlo simulation for the prediction of gamma-induced damage in metals  

    University essay from KTH/Reaktorfysik

    Author : Luca Messina; [2010]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nuclear waste management represents the main problem related to nuclear power generation. The Swedish project for an ultimate nuclear waste repos- itory  is in a very advanced state and cast iron-copper canisters have been designed with the aim of isolating the spent fuel from the environment for at least 105 years.
