1. 1. Reactor Chemistry in LWR SMRs : Determination of the rate constant for the reaction between boric acid and hydroxyl radicals

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

   Author : Fredrik Petersson; [2023]
   Keywords : LWR; SMR; Water chemistry; Radiolysis; Boric acid; LWR; SMR; vattenkemi; Radiolys; Borsyra; Hydroxylradikal;

   Abstract : Ett problem vid byggandet av nya kärnkraftverk för elproduktion är de stora investeringskostnaderna samt den långa tiden det att få tillstånd för en reaktor och bygga den. Nyligen färdigställdes den tredje reaktorn vid Olkiluoto I Finland, den tog 18 år att färdigställa exklusive tiden att få tillstånd för reaktorn. READ MORE

3. 2. Potentialer och utmaningar för landskapsarkitektur inom fysisk säkerhet : konstruktiv kritik utifrån intervjuer med säkerhetsexperter

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Viktoria Sundberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Landskapsarkitektur; utformning; säkerhet; fysiskt skydd; samhällsskydd;

   Abstract : Fysisk säkerhet, i form av att skydda samhällsviktiga värden mot antagonistiska angrepp, berörs inte på landskapsarkitektutbildningen SLU Ultuna - Sverige. Däremot finns miljöer med skyddsvärden som behöver balanseras med andra utformningskrav, exempelvis försvarsanläggningar eller myndighetsbyggnader. READ MORE

4. 3. The climate impact of fishways : A life cycle assessment of Blyberg’s and Spjutmo’s up- and downstream fishways

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Ellen Lundin; Lovisa Liljenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : LCA; life cycle analysis; life cycle assessment; fishways; fish; fish migration; climate impact; technical fishways; co2 equivalents; co2 eq; hydro power; HPP; Sweden; construction; concrete; reinforcement steel;

   Abstract : The Swedish national plan for reapproval of hydropower describes that hydropower plants (HPPs) are required to be reassessed to ensure that modern environmental conditions are set for the permits. Since dams and HPPs create barriers for migrating fish and consequently disfavor biological diversity, one consequence of the national plan is that fishways are being constructed. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

   Author : Lovisa Olsson; Julia Hellström; [2023]
   Keywords : hydropower; dam safety; dam monitoring; seepage; prediction models; data-driven methods; artificial intelligence; AI;  linear regression; Support Vector Regression; SVR; Long Short-Term Memory; LSTM;

   Abstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE
