  1. 1. The Prevalence of Radioactivity in a Number of Non-Nuclear Industries

    Författare :Torbjörn Gäfvert; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kärnfysik; Nuclear physics; zircon; ceramics industry; thorium; TIG welding; waterworks; calcium chloride; dicalcium phosphate; phosphate industry; non-nuclear industries; TENORM; Natural radioactivity; NORM;

    Sammanfattning : Four different non-nuclear industries have been investigated regarding the presence of radioactive elements, with the focus on natural radioactivity. The aim of the studies was to investigate the flow of radionuclides in the processes and/or to estimate doses to exposed workers. LÄS MER

    Författare :Achim Klüppelberg; Per Högselius; Kati Lindström; Anna Storm; Melanie Arndt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Nuclear power; water; technocratic culture; USSR; energy system; hydro-nuclear entanglements; Atomkraft; Wasser; technokratische Kultur; Sowjetunion; Energiesystem; hydronukleare Verflechtungen; Kärnkraft; vatten; teknokratisk kultur; Sovjetunionen; energisystem; hydronukleära sammanflätningar; History of Science; Technology and Environment; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö;

    Sammanfattning : After the development of nuclear weapons, civil applications were seen as a way through which protagonists of Soviet modernity could embrace a new future, which Josephson called atomic-powered communism. Where hydro-powered communism had reached its boundaries, nuclear energy was to take over. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Safety Reviews of Technical System Modifications in the Nuclear Industry

    Författare :Thomas Falk; Sven-Ove Hansson; Teemu Reiman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :safety; safety review; nuclear; nuclear power plant; process; process improvement; action research; experience feedback;

    Sammanfattning : The function of safety reviews (here understood as expert judgements on proposals for design modifications and redesign of technical systems in commercial Nuclear Power Plants, supported by formalised safety review processes) plays a fundamental role for safety in nuclear installations. The primary aims of the presented case studies includes: critically examining and identifying the main areas for improvement of the existing technical safety review process as it is conducted at a Swedish nuclear power plant, developing a new process, and evaluating whether any improvements were accomplished.

  5. 4. Electrification of the basic materials industry – Implications for the electricity system

    Författare :Alla Toktarova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; renewables; electrification; storage; industry; hydrogen; flexibility; circular economy; electricity systems modeling;

    Sammanfattning : The European energy-intensive basic materials industry must achieve deep reductions in CO2 emissions to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement. The rapid decline in the cost of renewable electricity makes expanded electrification an attractive option for eliminating the dependence of the industry on fossil fuels. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development of the Lund AMS Facility for the Detection of 59Ni – with Applications in the Nuclear Industry

    Författare :Per Persson; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AMS; Accelerator mass spectrometry; 59Ni; nuclear waste; chemical cobalt reduction; gas stripper; Nuclear engineering and technology; Kärnteknik; Fysicumarkivet A:2002:Persson;

    Sammanfattning : Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a highly sensitive method for counting atoms and it is used for detecting very low concentrations of both radionuclides and stable isotopes in small samples. The two major advantages of the AMS method are that the required amount of sample material is very small, but also that the efficiency is rather high, it takes less than an hour to analyse a sample.
