  2. 11. Approaching well-founded comprehensive nuclear data uncertainties : Fitting imperfect models to imperfect data

    Author : Petter Helgesson; Henrik Sjöstrand; Helmut Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evaluated nuclear data; uncertainty propagation; uncertainty quantification; model defects; Gaussian processes; TALYS; TENDL; covariances.; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : Nuclear physics has a wide range of applications; e.g., low-carbon energy production, medical treatments, and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear data (ND) constitute necessary input to computations needed within all these applications. READ MORE

  4. 12. Methods of Measuring Radioactivity in the Environment

    Author : Mats Isaksson; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; radioactivity; soil sampling; depth distribution; nuclear weapons fallout; Chernobyl; sewage sludge; deposition; Ekologi; Fysicumarkivet A:1997:Isaksson; Ecology; Kärnfysik; Nuclear physics; Cs-137;

    Abstract : In this thesis a variety of sampling methods have been utilised to assess the amount of deposited activity, mainly of Cs-137, from the Chernobyl accident and from the nuclear weapons tests. Starting with the Chernobyl accident in 1986 sampling of air and rain was used to determine the composition and amount of radioactive debris from this accident, brought to southern Sweden by the weather systems.

  5. 13. Bureaucratic politics and weapons acquisition : the case of the MX ICBM program : (in two volumes)

    Author : Håkan Karlsson; Bertel Heurlin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Försvarspolitik; Förenta staterna; statsvetenskap; Political Science;

    Abstract : The dissertation is about the process by which the armed forces of the United States acquire weapons of war. In order to elucidate the U.S. weapons acquisition process, it examines in detail the history of the controversial MX intercontinental ballistic missile program. READ MORE

  6. 14. Modelling the Role of Nuclear Power and Variable Renewables in Climate Change Mitigation

    Author : Mariliis Lehtveer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy system model; nuclear power; multi-criteria analysis; variable renewables; climate change; optimisation;

    Abstract : As the number of people on Earth and our energy needs have increased the system for providing this energy has become ever more complex and complicated and thus the need for more systematic understanding of it has grown. However, change in energy system is slow and many of the challenges that we face such as mitigating climate change need global solutions. READ MORE

  7. 15. 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.
