  2. 1. Water Curtains in Gas Storage. An Experimental Study

    Author : Carl-Olof Söder; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; analytical simulations; unlined gas storage; jointed rock; gas migration; gas containment; geo-hydrological test methods; hydromechanical breakdown;

    Abstract : Water curtains have been used for more than 20 years to prevent the escape of gas from caverns excavated in rock. Today, the use of water curtains appears to be increasing, with applications in various forms of storage caverns. READ MORE

  4. 2. Iodine-Metal Surface Interactions under Severe Accident Conditions in a Nuclear Power Plant

    Author : Henrik Glänneskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; containment; reactive metals; BWR; adsorption; iodine; radiolysis;

    Abstract : In the event of a severe nuclear reactor accident, iodine will be released from the fuel and eventually enter the containment. Radioactive iodine isotopes constitute both an acute and a long-term threat to humans, owing to its half-life and its accumulation in the thyroid gland. READ MORE

  5. 3. Investigation of the behaviour of gaseous I2 and RuO4 in different atmospheres

    Author : Joachim Holm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; containment; deposition; iodine; gaseous-phase reactions; ruthenium; PWR; BWR;

    Abstract : During a severe accident several hazardous and radiotoxic fission products can be released and constitute a threat to the environment. Two of the most important fission products are iodine and ruthenium which will be accumulated after inhalation in the human body in the thyroid gland and in the respiratory organs, respectively.

  6. 4. The chemistry of organic iodides under severe nuclear accident conditions in LWRs

    Author : Sabrina Tietze; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic iodides; Wet-filter system scrubber ; Chlorine; Volatile iodine source term; Severe nuclear accident; Cables; Sorption; Containment; Paint; Iodine; LWR; Radiolysis;

    Abstract : For many countries nuclear fission is an important part of their energy portfolio. However, a great concern is the occurrence of nuclear reactor accidents, which can result in the emission of radioactivity into the environment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Investigations of passive safety systems in LWRs : melt coolability with bottom coolant injection, light gas effects on a passive containment cooling system

    Author : Domenico Paladdino; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The key objectives in introducing passive features in thesafety systems for Light Water Reactor (LWR) are to increasetheir reliability, to simplify the design of the plants and toimprove performance and economics. Component and integralsystem tests in scaled facilities are required for optimizingthe design and for certification of these safety systems. READ MORE
