This dissertation addresses critical gaps in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of momentum transfer in two-phase flow systems. Available models, based on empirical relations from the behavior of single bubbles ...

The methods of data acquiring and processing in the 4πβ-γ coincidence counting systems for radionuclide standardization have been employed by using analogue electronic modules for decades. Since the supply and maintenance ...

In the context of the thesis presented, scenarios for fuel cycles containing Thorium (Th) have been investigated for Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs), proposed as one of the Generation IV nuclear reactor types. Initially, an ...

The main objective of this study is to perform the neutronic analysis of the Light Water Breeder Reactor, which operated between 1977 and 1982 at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station, while employing a Thorium fuel ...

In this study, the analysis of a dry storage cask for accident-tolerant and high-burnup spent fuel was performed. For a dry storage cask design currently in use, in case of loading with the accident-tolerant fuel discharged ...

The aim of this thesis is to assess different scenarios based on the factors affecting investment costs, which have the largest share in the unit cost (LCOE) of electricity produced from nuclear power plants, and the effects ...

The aim of this work is to make Monte Carlo simulations of two different CR-39 passive neutron dosimeter systems used to measure of personal dose equivalents of thermal and fast neutrons. Determination of fluence response ...

The new generation reactor concepts that have been designed so far are foreseen for a common goal for safer, longer-lasting, nuclear non-proliferation and more economical use of nuclear energy. The most important issue to ...
