  1. 1. Development and Applications of some Radioanalytical Procedures: Analysis of β- and α-Emitting Radionuclides Using Radiometric and ICP-MS Detection Methods

    Författare :Henrik Ramebäck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diffusion; plutonium; 90Sr; curium; uranium; 99Tc; bentonite clay; analysis; UO2 fuel; leaching; americium; neptunium;

    Sammanfattning : Analyses of radionuclides are important in environmental monitoring and in research. However, as in the analysis of many other species, interferences may be a problem. In a-spectrometric detection, 238Pu interferes with 241Am, owing to their similar decay energies. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Why Faster is Better : On Minor Actinide Transmutation in Hard Neutron

    Författare :Daniel Westlén; Jan Wallenius; Marc Delpech; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nuclear physics; nuclear engineering; Atomic physics; Atomfysik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, options for efficient transmutation of transuranium elements are discussed. The focus is on plutonium, americium and curium mainly because of their long-term contribution to the radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel. Two innovative helium-cooled core designs are proposed, dedicated to the transmutation of actinides. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering of Rare-Earth and Copper Systems

    Författare :Kristina Kvashnina; Joseph Nordgren; Clemens Heske; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Physics; resonant inelastic X-ray scattering; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Rare earths and copper systems were studied using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). The use of monochromased synchrotron radiation and improved energy resolution for RIXS made possible to obtain valuable information on the electronic structure in 4f, 5f and 3d systems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. CHALMEX FS-13 investigations for process implementation

    Författare :Thea Lyseid Authen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transmutation; SolventExtraction; CHALMEX; Partitioning; GANEX;

    Sammanfattning : From successive neutron absorption by uranium in nuclear reactors, transuranic elements such as neptunium, plutonium, americium and curium are produced. These elements are the main reason for the long-lived, highly radiotoxic and heat-producing nature of spent nuclear fuel. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On the Diluent and Solvent Effects in Liquid-Liquid Extraction Systems based on Bis-triazine-bipyridine (BTBP) ligands

    Författare :Elin Löfström Engdahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solvent effects; Diluent effects; GANEX; Interfacial tension; Density;

    Sammanfattning : Used nuclear fuel is dangerous for mankind and her environment for a long time. If however, the minor actinides together with uranium and plutonium could be transmuted, i.e. transformed, into more shortlived or stable isotopes the volume of the waste could be significantly reduced together with a reduction in the radiotoxicity.
