1. 1. Decay Chains of Fast Alpha Emitters in the Actinide Region

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
   Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

3. 2. Can blue mussel shells be used for retrospective 14C-analysis in the marine environment of nuclear power plants?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Sofia Bjarheim; [2024]
   Keywords : Radionuclide; Marine Environment; Blue Mussels; 14C; Nuclear Power Plant; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. READ MORE

4. 3. NON-COMPLIANCE AS PROCRASTINATION? Analysing how EU-member states live up to the Nuclear Waste Directive

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Ellen Petersson; [2023-10-20]
   Keywords : Compliance; motivations; enforcement; management; European Union; directive; radioactive waste; qualitative content analysis;

   Abstract : This thesis seeks to better understand how EU member states express motivations for not complying with EU law. Using the case of the Councils Directive 2011/70/Euratom, also known as the nuclear waste directive, this study analyzes member states' motivations for not complying with the requirements established in the directive, guided theoretically by the management and enforcement approaches.

5. 4. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Juan Carlos Lopez Santiago; [2023]
   Keywords : Epoxy resin; flammability; radiation; aging; cone calorimeter; micro combustion calorimeter; thermogravimetric analysis; lateral ignition and flame spread test; chemical composition of polymers; polymers; epoxy composite; polymer composite; failure of epoxy resins; magnetic coil; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. READ MORE

6. 5. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Alma Partos; Astrid Schöldström; [2023]
   Keywords : Radon; earthquake; gamma ray spectroscopy;

   Abstract : The purpose of this project is to simulate the detection of γ-ray spectra emitted by radon isotopes and their daughters. This is done as a contribution to the development of radiation detectors to be used in a research project investigating the possibility of using increased amounts of the radioactive gas radon as an earthquake precursor.
