1. 1. The neutron-induced fission cross section of 233Pa : and the quest for clean and safe nuclear energy

   Författare :Fredrik Tovesson; Andreas Oberstedt; Dietrich Hilscher; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; fission; cross section; Pa-233; U-233; fysik; Physics; Fysik; Fysik; Physics;

   Sammanfattning : Neutron-induced fission of 233Pa has been investigated between 1.0 and 8.5 MeV, and the reaction cross section was determined. Due to the short half-life of 233Pa for β-decay, fission events from the daughter product 233U affect the analysis of the protactinium experiment. LÄS MER

3. 2. Improved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel

   Författare :Cheuk Wah Lau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; load-following; PWR; Thorium; xenon poisoning; core calculations;

   Sammanfattning : Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. LÄS MER
