  1. 11. Atom Probe Tomography of Hydrogen and of Grain Boundaries in Corroded Zircaloy-2

    Författare :Gustav Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; corrosion; Field adsorption.; Hydrogen pick-up; Hydrogen analysis; Zirconium alloys; Atom probe tomography;

    Sammanfattning : Due to their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, zirconium alloys are widely used in the nuclear industry for fuel cladding and structural components. The lifetime of the fuel assemblies in the reactors are largely dictated by the ability of the fuel cladding to withstand corrosion and mechanical damage. LÄS MER

  2. 12. Modeling defect structure evolution in spent nuclear fuel container materials

    Författare :Arash Hosseinzadeh Delandar; Pavel Korzhavyi; Rolf Sandström; Konstantin Khromov; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cast iron insert; First principles calculations; Point defects; Effective interaction energy; Late blooming phase; Dislocation dynamics; High strain rate deformation; Single-crystal copper; Copper canister; Creep; Glide; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Materials intended for disposal of spent nuclear fuel require a particular combination of physical and chemical properties. The driving forces and mechanisms underlying the material’s behavior must be scientifically understood in order to enable modeling at the relevant time- and length-scales. LÄS MER

  3. 13. 2D hybrid modeling of defects in an ultrasonic inspection situation

    Sammanfattning : Advanced methods of nondestructive evaluations (NDE) are widely used for in-service inspection in many industrial applications, e.g. nuclear and aerospace industries. In these applications the components are exposed to different degradation mechanisms (e. LÄS MER

  4. 14. Development of a Method for Accelerated Ageing of Cementitious Materials Used in Repositories for Nuclear Waste

    Författare :Arezou Babaahmadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acceleration; Long-Term Performance; Calcium Leaching; Transport Properties; Cementitious Materials; Diffusion;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB), is required to validate the service life prediction of the concrete structures in nuclear waste repositories. Considering the repository being in contact with water , the decalcification process of cementitious materials although being very slow can during the very long operational lifetime of the repository (up to 100000 years), cause the degradation of chemical and mechanical properties of the concrete structures.

  5. 15. Studies of transport in oxides on Zr-based materials

    Författare :Clara Anghel; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Zirconium; hydrogen; oxygen diffusion; second-phase particle; oxidation; dissociation; hydration; carbon monoxide; adsorption; porosity; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Zr-based materials have found their main application in the nuclear field having high corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption cross-section. The oxide layer that is formed on the surface of these alloys is meant to be the barrier between the metal and the corrosive environment. LÄS MER
