Jaderná energetika a její budoucnost / Nuclear energy and its futureEretová, Kamila January 2009 (has links)
This work deals with the potential of nuclear energy in general and in our country. Nuclear energy offers as almost a necessary alternative to fill growing demand for electricity in our country and the world. Increased attention is paid to the electricity market in our country, the role of nuclear energy in the Czech energy mix and the possibilities of its use in the future as an alternative to other energy sources (renewable, fossil resources), and savings and imports from abroad. The author summarizes the main benefits, but also the risk that nuclear energy brings. Does not forget the attitude of environmentalists, opponents and the public to the nuclear issue, which improves long-term, giving scope for the use of nuclear energy.

[en] STRATEGIES TO EXPLORE NUCLEAR-ELETRIC ENERGY IN BRAZIL / [pt] ESTRATÉGIAS PARA GERAÇÃO DE ENERGIA NUCLEOELÉTRICA NO BRASILLUIZ AUGUSTO PEREIRA DE ANDRADE FIGUEIRA 25 August 2004 (has links)
[pt] Nos últimos oito anos, o setor elétrico brasileiro tem
sofrido profundas transformações em sua estrutura básica.
Porém, ainda há muito a fazer, principalmente na área de
diversificação de energia, uma vez que a matriz
energética do setor elétrico está concentrada em uma só
fonte - a hidráulica. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo
apresentar um arcabouço analítico com os recursos e as
competências necessários/desejáveis à exploração da energia
nucleoelétrica no país. A investigação foi desenvolvida,
usando a metodologia de estudo de caso, escolhendo como
objeto de pesquisa a Eletrobrás Termonuclear -
Eletronuclear. Coletados por meio de investigação
documental/telematizada, formulário predominantemente
estruturado e entrevistas, os dados da pesquisa foram
tratados com métodos quantitativos e qualitativos. A
interpretação e a análise dos dados foram realizadas com
base no referencial teórico, fundamentado em revisão de
literatura pertinente à área de estudo, com auxílio do
modelo genérico integrativo de Macedo-Soares (2000 e 2002),
em suas versões tradicional e relacional. Em seguida,
utilizando o método AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process),
realizou-se uma hierarquização das categorias de recursos e
de competências apuradas, em ordem de importância, segundo
a percepção dos gestores participantes da pesquisa. Os
resultados evidenciaram inconsistências entre os objetivos
estratégicos explicitados pela empresa, sua capacidade
financeira, os fatores macroambientais políticos e os
atores estratégicos. Dentre as recomendações resultantes da
pesquisa, o arcabouço de recursos e competências proposto
destaca as categorias mais relevantes e alerta para aquelas
que requerem ações mais efetivas com vistas a viabilizar a
geração de energia nucleoelétrica no Brasil. / [en] Since 1996, the basic structure of the Brazilian electric
sector has been changing dramatically. However, these
changes have not brought great improvement in terms of
electric energy diversification, considering that the
sector`s energetic matrix is basically concentrated in a
single source - the hydraulic. The objective of this study
is to develop an analytic framework with the
necessary/desirable resources and competencies to explore
the nuclear-electric energy in Brazil. The investigation
was carried out through the case study methodology and had
Electronuclear - Brazil`s state-owned nuclear energy
producer - as object of study. Data collected through
documental/telematic investigations and mainly structured
interviews, were handled with qualitative and quantitative
methods. The data interpretation and analysis were conducted
based on the theoretical references from the literature
review, with the support of the systemic and integrative
model - traditional and relational versions - developed
by Macedo-Soares(2000 e 2002). After that, utilizing the
Analytic Hierarchy Process, the resources and competencies
were organized in different groups and classified by
priority, according to managerial perceptions. The results
highlight inconsistencies between the firm`s strategy
objectives, its financial resources, the political macro-
environmental factors and the strategic actors. Among the
recommendations made as a result of the research, the
framework of resources and competencies shows the more
relevant groups and emphasizes some aspects that need
effective actions in order to explore the nuclear-electric
energy in Brazil.

Reprezentace jaderné energetiky v médiích v období před a po havárii ve Fukušimě / Representation of nuclear power in media in the period before and after the accident in FukušimaPodzemná, Lucie January 2014 (has links)
"Representation of nuclear energy in media in the period before and after the accident in Fukushima" This master's thesis examines media representation of nuclear energy within one year before and one year after the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. The sample of news was selected from the print edition of the two main Czech dailies - MF Dnes and Právo. The method used in the thesis is content analysis. In the first part, some of the main theories of media studies (agenda setting, stereotypes, framing, and moral panic) and mechanisms which single news are constructed by (news values, access to news, primary defining, and gatekeeping) are introduced. In the second part, shift in both the focus of the media on the issue of nuclear energy and utilizing of the selected mechanisms of construction of the news is examined. In conclusion, the thesis identifies how the representation of the nuclear energy is constructed in the above said dailies over the period given before and after the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Nutzung der Kernenergie - ein substanzieller Beitrag für eine zukunftssichere und nachhaltige EnergieversorgungLippmann, Wolfgang 15 January 2008 (has links)
In der intensiv geführten Diskussion um eine nachhaltige Energiestrategie spielt international die Kernenergie eine zentrale Rolle. Sie wird als ein substanzieller Bestandteil in einem ausgewogenen Energiemix gesehen. Kernenergie ist sicher, zuverlässig, ressourcenschonend und CO2-frei. Fast alle technisch hoch entwickelten Länder planen bzw. realisieren den Neubau von modernen Kernkraftwerken. Die technologisch auf diesem Gebiet führenden Nationen haben sich zu einer Interessengemeinschaft zusammengeschlossen, die es sich zum Ziel gestellt hat, die Kernkraftwerke der nächsten Generation zu entwickeln. Deutschland ist noch nicht dabei. / The intensive discussion regarding a sustainable energy strategy is focused centrally on the international role of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is considered a substantial component in a balanced energy mix. It is safe and reliable, saves resources and produces no CO2. Almost all technologically highly developed countries are planning or building new modern nuclear power stations. The technology leaders in this field have formed a pool aimed at developing nuclear power stations of the next generation. Germany has not yet joined this pool.

Optimization of material flow in the nuclear fuel cycle using a cyclic multi-stage production-to-inventory modelDePorter, Elden Leo 09 June 2012 (has links)
The nuclear fuel cycle is modelled as a cyclic, multi-stage production-to-inventory system. The objective is to meet a known deterministic demand for energy while minimizing acquisition, production, and inventory holding costs for all stages of the fuel cycle. The model allows for cyclic flow (feedback) of materials, material flow conversion factors at each stage, production lag times at each stage, and for escalating costs of uranium ore. It does not allow shortages to occur in inventories. The model is optimized by the application of the calculus of variations and specifically through recently developed theorems on the solution of functionals constrained by inequalities. The solution is a set of optimal cumulative production trajectories which define the stagewise production rates. Analysis of these production rates reveals the optimal nuclear fuel cycle costs and that inventories (stockpiles) occur in uranium fields, enriched uranium hexafluoride, and fabricated fuel assemblies. An analysis of the sensitivity of the model to variation in three important parameters is performed. / Ph. D.

Modified Transient Hot-Wire Needle Probe for Experimentally Measuring Thermal Conductivity of Molten SaltsMerritt, Brian N. 26 October 2022 (has links)
Molten salts are high-temperature heat transfer fluids intended for cooling and/or storage purposes in a variety of energy applications. The current work seeks to ultimately study the thermophysical properties of fluoride and chloride salts, which are commonly considered for use in advanced nuclear reactors. Thermophysical properties like thermal conductivity are fundamental to ensuring safe, efficient, and competitive designs for advanced commercial nuclear reactors. Measurement challenges with liquid salts such as electrical conduction, corrosion, convection, and thermal radiation have hindered traditional approaches in their attempts to accurately quantify these properties at high temperatures. Here, a needle probe is developed, which modifies principles from existing instrumental techniques in order to experimentally measure the thermal conductivity of molten salts with reduced error. An analytical heat transfer model is developed to characterize 1D radial heat flow in a multilayered cylindrical system. This includes a thin layer of salt located between the needle probe and a crucible to limit natural convection. After being validated with finite-element methods, the needle probe is used to measure the thermal conductivity of several reference liquids, whose thermophysical properties are well-established at low temperatures. These seven samples are water, sodium nitrate (molten salt), potassium nitrate (molten salt), toluene, ethanol, propylene glycol, and galinstan. The needle probe was able to accurately measure thermal conductivity between 0.40-0.66W/mK for these samples with 3.5-10% uncertainty. Three eutectic halide molten salts (presented by molar composition) were selected for high-temperature testing. These include the ternary fluorides LiF(46.5%)-NaF(11.5%)-KF(42%) and NaF(34.5%)-KF(59%)-MgF2(6.5%), as well as the binary chloride NaCl(58.2%)-KCl(41.8%). Because testing temperatures range between 500-750C, the governing model is adapted to account for radiative heat transfer through the salt sample in parallel with conductive heat transfer. Improvements to the experimental apparatus are also made. For all three salts, the needle probe accurately measured thermal conductivity between 0.490-0.849W/mK with total uncertainty generally being less than 20%. A linear fit to the data demonstrates a clear negative relationship between thermal conductivity and an increase in temperature, which agrees with theoretical and computational predictions. These results indicate that the needle probe successfully handles the assortment of measurement challenges associated with high-temperature molten salts and provides reliable data to create correlations for thermophysical property databases.
