  1. 16. Model-Level Timing Analysis for UML-RT Capsules

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Niclas Ståhlbom; [2023]
    Keywords : computer science; software engineering; algorithm; real-time; real-time systems; UML-RT; capsule diagram; WCET; analysis; WCET analysis;

    Abstract : Real-time systems surround every facet of our lives. They can be found in anything from everyday objects like mobile phones and washing machines to objects critical to life and infrastructure including heart rate monitors and nuclear power plants. As time progresses these systems are becoming ever more complex. READ MORE

  3. 17. 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

  4. 18. Ion Induced Particle Desorption From Self Supporting Nanomembranes : Influence of Different Geometries and Particle Types

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Jonas Beling; [2023]
    Keywords : ion; physics; ion physic; scattering; desorption; sputtering; jon; fysik; jonfysik;

    Abstract : Nanoelectronics is a field undergoing rapid development, meaning knowledge of the materials and methods used in nano-scale systems is a driving force in the industry. Silicon is a well known material in nanoelectronics commonly used as a semiconductor and is therefore a good representative for nanomaterials in general. READ MORE

  5. 19. Assessment of How Design and Operational Parameters Affect Plutonium Production for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors : A Study of the Ågesta, NRX and CANDU Reactors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Isak Hedberg; Stina Fredriksson; Axel Hallander; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nuclear weapons are an ever-present danger which threatens our very existence, which is whymany call for total nuclear disarmament. To do this, we need to know how many nuclear bombsthere are in the world. READ MORE

  6. 20. High spatial resolution study of local corrosion effects on BWR-fuel cladding : Using a combined method of GEANT4 and lwrChem

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Martin Nilsson Lind; [2023]
    Keywords : fission; zircaloy; corrosion; radiolysis; radiation; BWR; Monte Carlo; GEANT4; lwrChem;

    Abstract : The core of a BWR constitutes a highly complex radiational and chemical environment. Nuclear fission is utilized to generate power and as a consequence, large quantities of ionizing radiation are produced. Gamma and beta-particles along with neutrons have the sufficient ranges to escape the fuel rods and deposit energy in the reactor coolant. READ MORE
