  4. 3. Narrating Nuclear Disaster : Literary Form and Affective Modes after Chernobyl and Fukushima

    Författare :Hannah Klaubert; Ansgar Nünning; Claudia Egerer; Catrin Gersdorf; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ecocriticism; nuclear disaster; Chernobyl; Fukushima; narrative; narratology; literature; Anthropocene; radioactivity; environmental humanities; energy humanities; nuclear humanities; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : The major nuclear disasters of Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011) play an important role in the public perception of nuclear power, yet their social and material impacts remain scientifically debated and, thus, their meaning for the future of nuclear power production contested. Narrating Nuclear Disaster intervenes in these debates by asking what might be learned about nuclear disasters through an analysis of the formal and affective strategies employed in literary texts narrating their aftermath.

  5. 4. Determining food web transfer of radionuclides in marine benthic ecosystems

    Författare :Isak Holmerin; Clare Bradshaw; Nicholas Fisher; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; trophic transfer; radionuclides; benthic; ecosystem approach; Baltic Sea; Fukushima; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Food web interactions are vital in any functioning ecosystem and facilitate transfer of energy and nutrients between trophic levels. Unfortunately, they also facilitate transfer of contaminants such as anthropogenic radionuclides found in effluents from nuclear power plants (NPPs). LÄS MER

  7. 5. High Performance Fuels for Water-Cooled Reactor Systems

    Författare :Kyle D. Johnson; Janne Wallenius; James Tulenko; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nuclear fuel; accident tolerant fuel; uranium nitride; uranium silicide; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Investigation of nitride fuels and their properties has, for decades, been propelled on the basis of their desirable high metal densities and high thermal conductivities, both of which oer intrinsic advantages to performance, economy, and safety in fast and light water reactor systems. In this time several key obstacles have been identied as impeding the implementation of these fuels for commercial applications; namely chemical interactions with air and steam, the noted diculty in sintering of the material, and the high costs associated with the enrichment of 15N.
