Simulations of nuclear reactor physics can disagree significantly from experimental evidence, even when the most accurate models are used. An important part of this bias from experiment is caused by nuclear data. The nuclear data have inherent uncertaintie ...
The design and characterization of a passive neutron measurement station for highly burnt fuel has been undertaken at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). The measurement station aims at the determination of the total neutron emission rate of full-length lig ...
Nuclear energy is among the most viable alternatives to our current fossil fuel-based energy economy. The mass deployment of nuclear energy as a low-emissions source requires the reprocessing of used nuclear fuel to recover fissile materials and mitigate r ...
Previous studies on the modelling of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in bentonite-based engineered barrier systems (EBSs) showed the sensitivity of the output quantities to changes in the input parameters. To investigate the effects of unce ...
This paper presents the methodology applied for the experimental and numerical investigation of the mechanical response of spent nuclear fuel rods under static and dynamic loads. The experimental activities were conducted at the JRC Karlsruhe where a 3-poi ...
Actinide oxo clusters are an important class of compounds due to their impact on actinide migration in the environment. The photolytic reduction of uranyl(VI) has potential application in catalysis and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing, but the intermediate ...
A room temperature ionic liquid (IL) composed of a quaternary alkylphosphonium (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium, P66614(+)) and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borate anion (TB) was employed within a water| P66614TB (w|P66614TB or w|IL) biphasic system to evalua ...
The LWR-PROTEUS Phase II experimental program was conducted at the Proteus research reactor at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in the early 2000s. One of its purposes was to gain more insight into the reactivity changes caused by fuel burnup and to devel ...
Decomposition into higher species: Intramolecular UIII-mediated homolytic C-O bond cleavage in UIII (alkoxy)siloxy complexes at low temperature and subsequent reduction with KC8 led to unprecedented polymetallic complexes containing siloxy, silanediolate, ...
This thesis presents a systematic study on the merits and limitations on using pin-by-pin resolution and transport theory based approaches for nuclear core design calculations. Starting from the lattice codes and an optimal cross section generation scheme, ...
