1. 16. 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

3. 17. Pre-study for SMR and Nuclear Establishment in Norway

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Johan Stefan Nordström; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy mapping; Nuclear power; SMR; small modular reactors; siting; Norway; Energy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. READ MORE

4. 18. Frequency Stabilization in low Inertia Systems With Battery Power Injections

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Leif Lundin; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The challenges for the power system of the future becomes increasingly larger when large amountsof renewable energy sources are integrated, and when conventional forms of power such asnuclear power are phased out. This results in a greater difficulty in quickly deploying FrequencyContainment Reserves in the event of of power balance disturbance, to stabilize frequency andvoltage. READ MORE

5. 19. From AEC to NRC: A Paradigm Shift in U.S. Nuclear Energy Regulation and its Consequences for the Industry

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Benjamin Leopardo; [2023]
   Keywords : regulation; nuclear energy; energy economics; industrial organization; synthetic control;

   Abstract : Concerns over energy security and climate change are pushing countries to reconsider their stances on nuclear energy and plan new buildouts. The success of nuclear energy has historically varied greatly, depending to a great extent on the legal and regulatory environment. READ MORE

6. 20. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".
