    Författare :Joanna Peltonen; Weimin Ma; Maria Avramova; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boiling Water Reactor; RELAP5; TRACE; PARCS; Coupled TH NK analysis; Spatial Mapping; Turbine Trip; Feedwater Transient; Control Rod Drop; Reactor Stability; Hierarchical Clustering; kokvattenreaktor; reaktoranalys; RELAP5; TRACE; PARCS; TH NK analys; turbin tripp; matarvatten transient; fallande styrstav; reaktor stabilitet; hierarkisk klustringsmetodik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Sammanfattning : Analyses of nuclear reactor safety have increasingly required coupling of full three dimensional neutron kinetics (NK) core models with system transient thermal–hydraulics (TH) codes.  In order to produce results within a reasonable computing time, the coupled codes use two different spatial description of the reactor core.

  3. 17. Applications of Gamma Ray Spectroscopy of Spent Nuclear Fuel for Safeguards and Encapsulation

    Författare :Christofer Willman; Ane Håkansson; Henrik Nylén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Nuclear physics; gamma radiation; spectroscopy; spent nuclear fuel; safeguards; HRGS; MOX; Kärnfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Nuclear energy is currently one of the world’s main sources of electricity. Closely connected to the use of nuclear energy are important issues such as the nonproliferation of fissile material that may potentially used in nuclear weapons (safeguards), and the management of the highly radioactive nuclear waste.

  4. 18. Investigation of a Methodology for the Detection of Diversions in Spent Nuclear Fuel

    Författare :Moad al-Dbissi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flux gradient detector; artificial neural networks; partial defects; neutron scintillator; spent nuclear fuel; nuclear safeguards; machine learning;

    Sammanfattning : One of the main tasks in nuclear safeguards is the inspection of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) to detect possible diversions of their special nuclear material content, e.g., U-235 and Pu-239. These inspections verify the declared SNF via passive measurements of characteristic signatures such as the emissions of neutrons and gamma rays. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Production and Characterization of ZrN and PuN Materials for Nuclear Fuel Applications

    Författare :Marcus Hedberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Internal gelation; Carbothermal reduction; Zirconium Nitride; Plutonium Nitride; Nuclear fuel;

    Sammanfattning : At the heart of a nuclear reactor resides its fuel. The chemical composition of the nuclear fuel affects the performance of several key properties important for the overall operation and safety performance of the reactor. LÄS MER
