• 2017:20 Assessment of inertia effects on transient clad-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents

  In this report, simple hydrodynamic models are used for studying the effects of coolant inertia on fuel-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents in light water reactors. The objective is to assess if the inertia effects are important enough to warrant modification of QT-COOL, a coolant channel module for two-phase flow that has recently been implemented as...

• 2017:16 Stress intensity factor solutions for circumferential cracks in cylindrical bars under axisymmetric loading and global bending

  Background The case of a circumferential crack in a cylindrical bar has not been available in the ProSACC code. The need for such a geometry, especially considering nonlinear axisymmetric loading and global bending, has motivated the development of new stress intensity factor solutions, also known as K-solutions. These new K-solutions will be available in ISAAC, the successor to ProSACC.

• Research activities

  Research activities in the field of nuclear safety and radiation protection encompass a broad spectrum of aspects in terms of nuclear safety, radiation protection and nuclear non-proliferation. Nuclear non-proliferation activities imply preventing nuclear material and equipment for civilian purposes from being used to manufacture nuclear weapons.
