   Keywords : serpent; SFR; sodium cooled fast reactor; generation 4;

   Abstract : The sensitivity of two operational output parameters, criticality and isotopic composition during burnup, to specific design and operational reactor parameters in a Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor, is investigated. The computational simulation tool Serpent is used. READ MORE

3. 2. Manufacturing methods for (U-Zr)N-fuels

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Tobias Hollmer; [2011]
   Keywords : nuclear fuel; nitride fuel; uranium nitride; zirconium nitride; spark plasma sintering; solid solution; reaction kinetics; hydriding; nitriding; denitriding; uranium hydride; zirconium hydride; uranium zirconium alloy;

   Abstract : In this work a manufacturing method for UN, ZrN and (U,Zr)N pellets was established at the nuclear fuel laboratory at KTH Stockholm/Sweden, which consists of the production of nitride powders and their sintering into pellets by spark plasma sintering. The nitride powders were produced by the hydriding-nitriding route using pure metal as starting material. READ MORE
