6. Novel Diagnostics and Computational Methods of Neutron Fluxes in Boiling Water Reactors
Sammanfattning : The focus in this thesis is to improve knowledge of the BWR related uncertainties void, channel bow, and control rods. The presence of void determines the moderation of neutrons in BWRs. A high void fraction is less efficient in moderating neutrons than a low one. LÄS MER
7. Noise Applications in Light Water Reactors with Traveling Perturbations
Sammanfattning : Neutron noise induced by perturbations traveling with the coolant of light water reactors (LWRs) is investigated. Different methods to simulate the effect of propagating perturbations are considered. The studies are performed in both open- and closed-loop systems and summarized in three chapters. LÄS MER
8. Numerical Investigations on Debris Bed Coolability and Mitigation Measures in Nordic Boiling Water Reactors
Sammanfattning : This thesis is aiming at coolability assessment of particulate debris beds formed in hypothetical severe accidents of Nordic boiling water reactors (BWRs) which may employ either lower drywell flooding or control rod guide tubes (CRGT) cooling as severe accident management strategies. For this purpose, quench and cooling limit (dryout) of debris beds after their formation from fuel coolant interactions were investigated by numerical simulations using the MEWA code. LÄS MER
9. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Boiling Water Reactor Stability Simulations
Sammanfattning : The best estimate codes are used for licensing of Nuclear Power Plants (NPP), but with conservative assumptions. It is claimed that the uncertainties are covered by the conservatism of the calculation. LÄS MER
10. On Fuel Coolant Interactions and Debris Coolability in Light Water Reactors
Sammanfattning : During the case of a hypothetical severe accident in a light water reactor, core damage may occur and molten fuel may interact with water resulting in explosive interactions. A Fuel-Coolant Interactions (FCI) consists of many complex phenomena whose characteristics determine the energetics of the interactions. LÄS MER
