  1. 1. Can blue mussel shells be used for retrospective 14C-analysis in the marine environment of nuclear power plants?

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

    Author : Sofia Bjarheim; [2024]
    Keywords : Radionuclide; Marine Environment; Blue Mussels; 14C; Nuclear Power Plant; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. READ MORE

  3. 2. Dynamic Power Systems Modeling: Power Plant Types, Demand, and Environmental Impacts

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

    Author : Alexandra Papadopoulos; Linn Ekman; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It is increasingly important to understand the dynamics of power systems. Most notably, thetransition towards renewable energy sources will radically change the way our power systemworks. A better understanding of the system dynamics is crucial to smoothly transitiontoward a sustainable system without undesirable side effects. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Reliability Assessment of Passive ICS in an SMR as part of the PSA Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Graeme Trundle; [2023]
    Keywords : Passive system reliability; Probabilistic safety assessment; Reliability Methods of Passive Systems; Natural circulation; TRACE; RiskSpectrum; Passiv systemtillförlitlighet; Probabilistisk säkerhetsbedömning; Reliability Methods of Passive Systems; Naturlig cirkulation; TRACE; RiskSpectrum;

    Abstract : Passive safety systems are increasingly being utilized in prospective nuclear power plant designs. Indeed, the use of safety systems driven by natural phenomena might be seen as an unmitigated virtue. READ MORE
