  1. 1. Exploring potential E-fuel production pathways for maritime and aviation sectors in France : a techno-economic and environmental assessment

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

    Author : Mathieu Minaud; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aviation and maritime industries pose significant challenges for decarbonization, having increased activity in the past decade. One promising solution to limit emissions in these sectors is Electrofuels (E-fuel), derived from water electrolysis hydrogen and captured CO2 or nitrogen. READ MORE

  3. 2. Propagation of Nuclear Data Uncertainties for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It could be argued that a renaissance is taking place for the global interest in nuclear power - especially for the development of the next generation of reactor systems that aim at solving the problems with contemporary energy production with nuclear technology. One such proposed concept for Gen IV nuclear power is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), in which the nuclear fuel is in solution of a salt - often based on fluorine or chlorine. READ MORE

  4. 3. Accumulation of 63Ni, 106Ru and 125Sb in phytoplankton

    University essay from

    Author : Yusuf Ali; [2022-08-22]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Environmental radiology; Nuclear Power Plants; concentration factor CF ; phytoplankton; phaeodactylum tricornutum; radioactive releases; nickel; ruthenium; antimony; gamma spectroscopy; liquid scintillation counting;

    Abstract : Background: Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) release small amounts of radionuclides which contribute with a low radiation dose to the environment as well as humans and animals. In this context, marine ecosystems are critical, since most NPPs in Sweden are located by the sea. READ MORE

  5. 4. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

  6. 5. Use of the JET pedestal database to assess the role of ion temperature and plasma rotation on the discrepancy between ideal peeling-ballooning model and experimental data

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

    Author : Max Eichenberger; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear fusion; Joint European Torus JET ; H-mode; pedestal; Edge-localized-modes ELMs ; Peeling-Ballooning; relative shift; ion temperature; plasma rotation; Kärnfusion; JET Joint European Torus ; H-läge; piedestal; ELM Edge Localized­Modes ; peeling-ballooning; relativ förskjutning; jontemperatur; plasmarotation;

    Abstract : Next-generation and present fusion devices such as the Joint European Torus (JET) aim for plasma operations in H-mode, a plasma regime with high confinement and low loss of energy and fuel that results from a barrier for heat and particle transport at the plasma edge, the pedestal. Due to steep gradients of the density, temperature and pressure profiles, the pedestal experiences instabilities called Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) which lead to large fluxes of heat and particles that might damage machine components.
