  2. 1. Nuclear Power as a Climate Change Mitigation Option: a Modelling Approach

    Author : Mariliis Lehtveer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CCS; sensitivity analysis; nuclear weapons proliferation; energy system model; nuclear power; climate change;

    Abstract : Although nuclear power can provide electricity with very low life cycle carbon emissions and thus reduce the cost of climate change mitigation, it also brings along many specific challenges: accident risk, need for radioactive waste management and nuclear weapons proliferation risk. Due to this controversial nature nuclear power, among other energy forms, has been relatively little studied in a climate mitigation context. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nuclear safeguards directed to the application of multivariate analysis techniques to existing and future nuclear fuel cycles

    Author : Vaibhav Mishra; Sophie Grape; Zsolt Elter; Erik Branger; Peter Dendooven; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nuclear safeguards; nuclear fuel verification; spent fuel; molten salt reactors; machine learning.; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : For as long as nuclear power has existed, there has been a concern for effectively safeguarding nuclear material since it was learned that it could be misused. Early on, many nations were interested in nuclear power, and therefore there was an urgent need to verify that it was only used for civilian purposes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Seismic high-frequency content loads on structures and components within nuclear facilities

    Author : Cecilia Rydell; Anders Ansell; Mario Plos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nuclear power plant; Earthquake; Seismic high frequencies; Fluid-structure interaction; Piping; Concrete; Pool;

    Abstract : Sweden is generally considered to be a low seismicity area, but for structures within nuclear power facilities, the safety level demand with respect to seismic events are high and thus, these structures are required to be earthquake-resistant. The seismic hazard is here primarily considered to be associated with near-field earthquakes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of New Experimental Facilities at the Lund Nuclear Microprobe Laboratory

    Author : Asad Shariff; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; low energy tailing; sub-micron beam; PRAM; grid shadow; Kärnfysik; Nuclear physics; GUPIX; Ion Beam Analysis; PIXE; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Shariff;

    Abstract : Ion beam analysis techniques are now well established as research tools for a broad range of multidisciplinary scientific fields. The ability to focus an ion beam down to micrometer size has expanded and strengthened the capability of IBA techniques to a higher level. READ MORE
