  2. 1. Applications of Gamma Ray Spectroscopy of Spent Nuclear Fuel for Safeguards and Encapsulation

    Author : Christofer Willman; Ane Håkansson; Henrik Nylén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Nuclear physics; gamma radiation; spectroscopy; spent nuclear fuel; safeguards; HRGS; MOX; Kärnfysik;

    Abstract : Nuclear energy is currently one of the world’s main sources of electricity. Closely connected to the use of nuclear energy are important issues such as the nonproliferation of fissile material that may potentially used in nuclear weapons (safeguards), and the management of the highly radioactive nuclear waste.

  4. 2. Proliferation resistances of Generation IV recycling facilities for nuclear fuel

    Author : Matilda Åberg Lindell; Sophie Grape; Ane Håkansson; Staffan Jacobsson Svärd; Roland Carchon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; safeguards; proliferation resistance; Generation IV; reprocessing; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : The effects of global warming raise demands for reduced CO2 emissions, whereas at the same time the world’s need for energy increases. With the aim to resolve some of the difficulties facing today’s nuclear power, striving for safety, sustainability and waste minimization, a new generation of nuclear energy systems is being pursued: Generation IV.
