An automated software for analysis of experimental data on decay heat from spent nuclear fuel

Llerena Herrera, Isbel January 2012 (has links)
The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) has developed a method for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. This technique requires accurate measurement of the residual decay heat of every assembly. For this purpose, depletion codes as well as calorimetric and gamma-ray spectroscopy experimental methods have been developed and evaluated. In this work a prototype analysis tool has been developed to automate the analysis of both calorimetric and gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements. The performance of the analysis tool has been investigated by comparing its output with earlier results and calculations. Parallel to the software development, new measurements on 73 BWR assemblies were performed. The results obtained for the determination of the residual decay heat are presented. Finally, suggestions for further development are outlined and discussed.

Mobile Emergency Cooling System for Decay Heat Removal : Cooling Tower Designs for Forsmark NPP

Hissein Koty, Habre January 2019 (has links)
This master thesis has been conducted at Forsmark nuclear power plant. In nuclear power plants, safety is one of the most important tasks. After the Fukushima-accident, Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB investigated the possibility to have additional emergency cooling systems. This thesis aims to investigate the use of cooling towers as mobile emergency cooling system for decay heat removal for the nuclear reactors at Forsmark NPP. The advantages and disadvantages of different cooling tower types were looked at. To achieve mobility, some restraints were considered such as dimensions and weight. In the design of cooling towers, experimental values are used. As these crucial data are missing, a backfitting from actual designs was done to derivate the missing data. The results of this thesis show that wet cooling towers are in this case more effective than dry cooling towers. The wet cooling towers cover in the best scenario up to 38MW which is 10 times higher than what can be achieved with the dry cooling tower. That covers the maximal decay heat released in the reactor F3 12 hours after a shutdown.
