Radiation detection and energy conversion in nuclear reactor environments by hybrid photovoltaic perovskites

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Bálint Náfrádi, Endre Horvath, Pavao Roko Andricevic, Márton Kollár

Detection and direct power conversion of high energy and high intensity ionizing radiation could be a key element in next generation nuclear reactor safety systems and space-born devices. For example, the Fukushima catastrophe in 2011 could have been large ...

Development and verification of pin-by-pin homogenized simplified transport solver Tortin for PWR core analysis

Andreas Pautz, Petra Mala

Currently, the pin-by-pin homogenized solvers are a very active research field as they can, unlike the nodal codes, directly predict the local power, while requiring significantly less computational resources than the heterogeneous transport codes. This pa ...

Preliminary design and analysis of Liquid Fuel Molten Salt Reactor using multi-physics code GeN-Foam

Carlo Fiorina

In this study, a hypothetical fast spectrum Liquid Fuel Molten Salt Reactor (LFMSR) core is modeled using the multiphysics C++ code GeN-Foam (General Nuclear Foam). GeN-Foam is based on OpenFOAM, a C++ opensource library for solution of continuum mechanics ...

Development and Application of Data Assimilation Methods in Reactor Physics

Daniel Jerôme Siefman

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 ...

Determination of the activity inventory and associated uncertainty quantification for the CROCUS zero power research reactor

Pavel Frajtag, Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Mathieu Hursin, DongHyuk Lee

The paper describes the source term estimation of CROCUS, the zero power research reactor of EPFL, to be used for dispersion analysis under accidental conditions. To fulfil regulatory requirements, the source term of the CROCUS fuel is estimated through Mo ...

Growth, Integration, and Functional Characterization of AlScN Thin Films for RF MEMS Devices

Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour

Mobile communication has grown explosively in recent years, leading to a strong demand for cheap, but high-performing bandpass filters with low insertion loss and smaller size. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) and thin film bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators r ...
