  1. 1. Derivation of the angular momentum of primary fission fragments from isomeric yield ratio by TALYS using Python

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Mohammad Bagher Nori; [2021]
    Keywords : Nuclear physics; nuclear fission; angular momentum; fission fragments; isomeric yield ratios; fission products;

    Abstract : The general fission process is well known and is applied in nuclear power plants all over the world. However many properties of fission fragments are still not well understood. READ MORE

  3. 2. Uranium mining : A tool to evaluate and compare new suppliers

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar produktionsutveckling (ML)

    Author : Gustav Svenningsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nuclear power plants produce electricity by energy produced by nuclear reactions in thenuclear core. The nuclear fuel that enables the reactions has uranium as its primary material.Uranium is processed in four steps before being put into the nuclear core and these four stepsare uranium mining, conversion, enrichment and manufacturing.

  4. 3. The Price of Uranium : an Econometric Analysis and Scenario Simulations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Author : Johannes Kroén; [2019]
    Keywords : Price of uranium; uranium; nuclear power scenarios; uranium price in 2030; econometric model; price estimation uranium; nuclear power and uranium; scenario simulations; econometric analysis;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to analyze: (a) the determinants of the global price of uranium; and (b) how this price could be affected by different nuclear power generation scenarios for 2030. To do this a multivariable regression analysis will be used. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nuclear reactor core model for the advancednuclear fuel cycle simulator FANCSEE. Advanceduse of Monte Carlo methods in nuclear reactorcalculations

    University essay from

    Author : Alexander Skwarcan-Bidakowski; [2017]
    Keywords : Nuclear; Reactor; Physics; simulation; FANCSEE; Serpent; energy; neutron; cross; section; Bateman; atom; isotope; fission; reaction; uranium; plutonium; capture; physics; power; calculation; burnup; Kärnkraft; Reaktor; Kärna; Simulering; FANCSEE; uran; pluton; Serpent; energi; atom; isotop; fisson; Bateman;

    Abstract : A detailed reactor core modeling of the LOVIISA-2 PWR and FORSMARK-3BWR was performed in the Serpent 2 Continuous Energy Monte-Carlocode.Both models of the reactors were completed but the approximations ofthe atomic densities of nuclides present in the core differedsignificantly.

  6. 5. Detection of uranium fission products through neutron activation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : August Barot; Mikael Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Abstract—Uranium compounds are used in many nuclear power plants, and the neutron-induced fission reactions produce many decay products. Some of these are of interest from an efficiency or safety point of view. For this reason, it is important to quantitatively and qualitatively know these nuclides. READ MORE
