2. 1. Enhancing the performance of the Digital Cherenkov Viewing Device : Detecting partial defects in irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies using Cherenkov light

   Author : Erik Branger; Sophie Grape; Christopher Orton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DCVD; Nuclear safeguards; Cherenkov light; Nuclear fuel assembly; Partial defect verification; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

   Abstract : The Digital Cherenkov Viewing Device (DCVD) is an instrument used by authority safeguards inspectors to verify irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies in wet storage based on Cherenkov light emission. It is frequently used to verify that parts of an assembly have not been diverted, which is done by comparing the measured Cherenkov light intensity to a predicted one. READ MORE

4. 2. Defect Engineering in Kesterite Materials for Thin Film Solar Cells

   Author : Katharina Rudisch; Jonathan J. Scragg; Alain Lafond; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CZTS; thin film solar cells; defect engineering; composition-spread films; order disorder transition; intrinsic defects; secondary phases; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

   Abstract : Cu2ZnSnS4 has great potential to be applied as an earth abundant and non-toxic absorber material in thin film solar cells, based on its suitable optical properties. However, several challenges have prevented the achievable efficiencies from exceeding 12.6 %, which is well below marketable efficiencies compared to competing solar cell technologies. READ MORE

5. 3. Polypropylene : Morphology, defects and electrical breakdown

   Author : Sari J. Laihonen; Ulf W. Gedde; Erling Ildsten; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; polypropylene; poly propylene-stat-ethylene ; crystal structure; morphology; crystallinity; crystallization kinetics; lamellae; spherulite; defect; Kemiteknik; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Crystal structure, morphology and crystallization kinetics of melt-crystallized polypropylene and poly(propylene-stat-ethylene) fractions with 2.7 to 11.0 mol% of ethylene were studied by differential scanning calorimeter, wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering, polarized light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy.

6. 4. Developments toward a novel methodology for spent nuclear fuel verification

   Author : Moad al-Dbissi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nuclear safeguards; partial defect; neutron scintillator; flux gradient detector; machine learning; spent nuclear fuel; artificial neural networks;

   Abstract : One of the tasks in nuclear safeguards is to regularly inspect spent nuclear fuel discharged from nuclear power reactors and verify the integrity of it, so that illegal removal and diversion of radioactive material can be promptly discovered. In the current project, which is a collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology and SCK CEN, a novel methodology for non-intrusive inspection of spent nuclear fuel is under development.

7. 5. Robotic in-line quality inspection system for Zero-Defect Manufacturing : Requirements and Challenges

   Author : Victor Azamfirei; Yvonne Lagrosen; Anna Granlund; Foivos Psarommatis; Rikard Söderberg; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automation; industrial robot; sensor; in-line quality inspection; Zero-Defect Manufacturing ZDM ; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : The modern manufacturing paradigm is characterised by an increased level of competition, growing demand for customisable or one-of-a-kind products, and stricter sustainability requirements. To maintain their competitiveness, manufacturing companies must adapt their processes frequently and efficiently while providing high-quality products. READ MORE
