    Abstract : Radiation protection is of importance for the general public, patients and personnel in many different situations: rare accidents involving ionizing radiation, medical examinations or work tasks in the medical clinic or nuclear industry to name a few. Optimization in radiation protection and limitation of radiation doses are essential to prevent overexposure and for reducing negative health consequences. READ MORE

  4. 13. Detection of voids in welded joints using ultrasonic inspection : Quality control of welded joints in copper canisters for purpose of permanent storage of used nuclear waste

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Bakhtiar Afzalan; [2021]
    Keywords : Ultrasonic inspection; Nuclear waste; Nuclear waste storage; welded joints;

    Abstract : This thesis was done i cooperation with SKB Clab in Oskarshamn and studies use of sonic waves for detecting voids and irregularities in the weld joints of copper capsules used for long term storage of radioactive waste. Since these could pose material failure and thereby risk radioactive contamination of ground water it is very important to find means of quality control before storage. READ MORE
