  2. 1. Developments and application of neutron noise diagnostics of sodium cooled fast reactors

    Author : Florian Zylbersztejn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neutron monitoring; Neutron noise; Fast neutron reactors; Core volume fluctuations;

    Abstract : The Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is one of the six reactor types selected by the Generation-IV international forum (GIF), and the building of an industrial prototype is planned in France. The safety standard of the future SFR has to be equivalent to the EPR's. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neutron Irradiation Techniques

    Author : Julius Scherzinger; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actinide Be; fast-neutrons; NE-213 liquid scintillator; He-4 scintillators; pulse-shape discrimination; Cf-252; absolute detection efficiency; neutron irradiation; Fysicumarkivet A:2016:Scherzinger;

    Abstract : The He-3 “crisis” has become a fact in the last decade and large scale neutron detectors based on He-3 technologies have become unaffordable. This new He-3 reality has resulted in a major effort worldwide to develop replacement neutron-detector technologies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Control Rod Homogenization in Heterogeneous Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors

    Author : Mikael Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Homogenization; Monte Carlo; Fast Reactors; Reactivity Equivalence; Control rod;

    Abstract : The sodium-cooled fast reactor is one of the candidates for a sustainable nuclearreactor system. In particular, the French ASTRID project employs an axiallyheterogeneous design, proposed in the so-called CFV (low sodium effect) core, toenhance the inherent safety features of the reactor.

  6. 4. Fast-Neutron Tomography using a Mobile Neutron Generator for Assessment of Steam-Water Distributions in Two-Phase Flows

    Author : Peter Andersson; Staffan Jacobsson Svärd; Henrik Sjöstrand; Stephan Pomp; Ane Håkansson; Michael Österlund; Bernhard Ludewigt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Void distribution; neutron tomography; plastic scintillator; transmission measurements; neutron detection; Applied Nuclear Physics; Tillämpad kärnfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the measurement technique of fast-neutron tomography for assessing spatial distributions of steam and water in two-phase flows. This so-called void distribution is of importance both for safe operation and for efficient use of the fuel in light water reactors, which compose the majority of the world’s commercial nuclear reactors.

  7. 5. Advanced fuels for thermal spectrum reactors

    Author : Jitka Zakova; Janne Wallenius; Jan-Leen Kloosterman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BWR; transmutation; thorium; Pu; MA; Am; Cm; AHTR; thermal; reactor; neutron;

    Abstract : The advanced fuels investigated in this thesis comprise fuels non− conventional in their design/form (TRISO), their composition (high content of plutonium and minor actinides) or their use in a reactor type, in which they have not been used before (e.g. nitride fuel in BWR). READ MORE
