  4. 13. Development of fine-mesh methodologies for coupled calculations in Light Water Reactors

    Författare :Klas Jareteg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; Coupled neutronics thermal-hydraulics; nuclear reactor multiphysics; multiphase flow;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents fine-mesh multiphysics methodologies and algorithms for numerical predictions of the behavior of Light Water Reactor (LWR) cores. The multiphysics aspects cover the distribution of neutrons, the fluid flow of the coolant and the conjugate heat transfer between the solid fuel pins and the fluid coolant. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Nondestructive Fission Gas Measurements by Means of Gamma Spectroscopy and Gamma Tomography

    Författare :Scott Holcombe; Staffan Jacobsson Svärd; Guido Ledergerber; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

    Sammanfattning : There is a continuous need in the nuclear industry to characterize irradiated nuclear fuel rods and assemblies, both for fuel performance and for safeguards purposes, and consequently there are various destructive and nondestructive measurement techniques available to meet this need. Gamma spectroscopy is one such nondestructive technique, which has been extensively used for a variety of fuel characterization applications. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Investigation of the use of thorium in LWRs for improving reactor core performance

    Författare :Cheuk Wah Lau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thorium; thermal margin; light water reactor;

    Sammanfattning : Thorium is a fertile material and most of the past research has focused on breeding thorium into fissile material to achieve a more sustainable use of nuclear power. However, the focus in this report is on using thorium to improve reactor core performance. LÄS MER
