1. Development, validation and application of an effective convectivity model for simulation of melt pool heat transfer in a light water reactor lower head
Sammanfattning : Severe accidents in a Light Water Reactor (LWR) have been a subject of the research for the last three decades. The research in this area aims to further understanding of the inherent physical phenomena and reduce the uncertainties surrounding their quantification, with the ultimate goal of developing models that can be applied to safety analysis of nuclear reactors.

2. The Effective Convectivity Model for Simulation and Analysis of Melt Pool Heat Transfer in a Light Water Reactor Pressure Vessel Lower Head
Sammanfattning : Severe accidents in a Light Water Reactor (LWR) have been a subject of intense research for the last three decades. The research in this area aims to reach understanding of the inherent physical phenomena and reduce the uncertainties in their quantification, with the ultimate goal of developing models that can be applied to safety analysis of nuclear reactors, and to evaluation of the proposed accident management schemes for mitigating the consequences of severe accidents.

3. Thermo-mechanical Assessment of Reactor Pressure Vessels of Light Water Reactors During Severe Accidents
Sammanfattning : The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is one of the crucial safety barriers designed to isolate the reactor core, safeguarding against potential radioactive releases into the environment during a severe accident. The assessment of RPV behaviour and its failure is necessary to predict the characteristics of melt release into the reactor pit and succeeding ex-vessel accident progression. LÄS MER
4. Development and Application of Uncertainty Analysis Approaches for MELCOR Simulations of Severe Accidents
Sammanfattning : The contemporary needs in advancing safety analysis methods and the increasing stringency in light water reactor (LWR) safety in the post-Fukushima era require more advanced and systematical approaches for severe accident analyses. The best estimate plus uncertainty (BEPU) methods are among such approaches and have been widely used for deterministic safety analysis (DSA) of design basis accidents (DBAs). LÄS MER
5. Formation, partitioning and interactions of organic iodides under severe nuclear accident conditions
Sammanfattning : During severe nuclear reactor accidents such as Chernobyl or Fukushima large amounts of radioactive iodine can be released in form of inorganic and organic iodine species into the environment. Volatile radioactive iodine species are harmful to human health when inhaled. LÄS MER
