  1. 1. Theoretical Actinide Chemistry – Methods and Models

    Author : Pernilla Wåhlin; Ulf Wahlgren; Luis Seijo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Actinide; Quantum chemistry; Wave function; Density functional theory; Solvent models; Water exchange; Molecular configurations; Multi-reference density functional method; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : The chemistry of actinides in aqueous solution is important, and it is essential to build adequate conceptual models and develop methods applicable for actinide systems. The complex electronic structure makes benchmarking necessary. READ MORE

    Abstract : Separation and transmutation of spent nuclear fuel has been considered as a complement to direct disposal in a deep geological repository. The time needed for the waste to decay to natural background levels can be drastically decreased if the long-lived radionuclides, mainly the actinides, in the spent nuclear fuel are separated and transmuted to short-lived or stable nuclides.

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

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE
