  1. 6. Preventing environmental injustice: literature review of the transboundary effects of the radioactive waste repository construction, Čerkezovac

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Mara Nika Ladika; [2023]
    Keywords : environmental justice; distributive justice; procedural justice; nuclear repository; nuclear waste; environmental impact; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Identifying potential indications of inequal distribution of environmental burdens and/or benefits in the case of radioactive waste repository construction at the border between Republic of Croatian and Bosnia and Hercegovina were the aim of this thesis. To answer it the question Can environmental injustice be detected and prevented before the environmental pollution and negative impacts it bring,s to the communities in the vicinity, begin? had to be answered.

  3. 7. Development of a computational method for determining gamma energy escape from calorimeters at CLAB

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Amela Mehic; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear physics; Calorimeter; SNF; MCNP; Dose rate; CLAB; Gamma energy; Fuel assembly; Form function; Attenuation coefficient; Gamma spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company- SKB has conducted measurement campaigns at the Swedish central interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel- CLAB over the years, extending from year 2003 to 2019 where the gamma energy escape was acquired. At CLAB the spent nuclear fuel assembly is inserted into the calorimeter; device intended to measure temperature increase due to decay heat from the fuel assembly. READ MORE

  4. 8. Sustainability Assessment of a Battery Storage System : Case study of a building-applied photovoltaic system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

  5. 9. Coupling of Nuclear Power Generation with Greenhouse Gas Capture Technology

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Sofia Bellgren; Isabel Sondén; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to stop the escalating global warming, humankind rapidly needs to develop and implement technology to lower the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Today there are methods to capture CO2 directly from the atmosphere (DAC); the problem lies in how to power them in a fossil-free and cost-attractive way. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background Nuclear reactors utilizing molten fuels rather than solid fuels show a massive advantage in energy yield, waste handling and safety features. The only successful reactor utilizing a molten fuel was called the ‘Molten Salt Reactor Experiment’ (MSRE), built and operated in the Oak Ridge national laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, U.S.A.
