  1. 1. Uncertainty & Sensitivity Analysis of Nuclear Fuel Using Transuranus & Dakota

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Udyanth Vaidya; [2021]
    Keywords : Nuclear; Nuclear Energy; SUNRISE; Transuranus; Dakota; LFR; Lead cooled fast reactor; Simulations; modelling; fuel performance code;

    Abstract : With the initiative taken by the SUNRISE project (Sustainable Nuclear Energy Research in Sweden) to construct a Lead-cooled research reactor, this thesis intends to extend the knowledge within nuclear fuel development. By using integral iterative modelling and simulating techniques that mimic real-world phenomena, novel fuel materials like uranium nitride are assessed for future validation. READ MORE
