1. 11. Terminating Apartheid's Atomic Bomb

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Oskar Hedman; [2023]
   Keywords : South Africa; Nuclear Disarmament; Tripart Accord; Frederik de Klerk; Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty; Law and Political Science;

   Abstract : South Africa secretly produced six and a half nuclear weapons from 1978-1989 before undertaking a complete nuclear disarmament between 1989-1991; it is the only instance in history of when a state has discarded an indigenously developed nuclear arsenal and presents a unique case for studying the nuclear decision-making of states. This thesis is a theory-testing case study where I, by conducting a qualitative content analysis of previous research on South Africa’s nuclear rollback, examine how well Scott D Sagan’s nuclear policy model can explain the nuclear disarmament of South Africa.

3. 12. Unlocking the Potential of Battery Energy Storage Systems in the Nordic Frequency Regulation Markets : A techno-economic analysis to evaluate long-term profitability

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Theodor Ingman; Henrik von Sivers; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : As the Swedish power system has increased its shares of production coming from intermittent renewables, the production coming from large rotational units as nuclear, and hydropower, has decreased. Thereby, the power system has become more sensitive to sudden changes between production and consumption of electricity, increasing the risk of disruptions in the electricity grid. READ MORE

4. 13. 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

5. 14. 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

6. 15. 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
