  3. 33. Cross-Section and Isomeric Yield Ratio Measurements at En= 14 MeV Using the NESSA D-T Neutron Facility for Reactor Dosimetry Applications
    Sandipan Dawn (Uppsala University)

    contributed 15+5

    Reactor dosimetry relies on accurate nuclear cross-section data. Activation foils are often the only practical way to measure neutron flux inside a reactor core or near structural components where active detectors cannot survive. Threshold reactions with different energy sensitivities allow unfolding of the neutron spectrum. The high-energy tail is particularly relevant for fusion-fission...

  4. 37. Neural-network–enabled passive localization of multiple sources in radioactive waste
    Vivian Peters (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)

    contributed 15+5

    In the Swedish nuclear industry, characterization of legacy radioactive waste, produced before contemporary standards, remains a significant challenge. These waste packages often involve added complications, including concrete shielding, varying origins and lacking documentation. Because of this, traditional approaches to passive characterization may struggle.

    We introduce a custom...

  5. 6. Scalability of Heat-Pipe cooled Reactors for Remote and Autonomous Applications
    Baltasar Johannes Hemmerle (University of Oslo)
    06/05/2026, 11:20
    contributed 15+5

    Heat-Pipe cooled Reactors (HPRs), which were originally intended for space applications, are of particular interest for remote/autonomous operations as their designs are simple, compact, and transportable. Historically most HPR designs produce only limited thermal power in the kilowatt range and/or utilize highly enriched fuel. This work investigated how reactor design principles can be used...

  6. 43. Development of an Automated Uncertainty Quantification Pipeline in Nuclear Data Evaluation
    Dr Jinti Barman (Uppsala University)
    06/05/2026, 11:40
    contributed 12+3

    Reliable nuclear data and well-characterized uncertainties are crucial for predictive reactor physics modeling, safety analysis, criticality assessment, and the design of advanced nuclear systems. Nuclear data uncertainties, arising from experimental measurement errors, theoretical model deficiencies, and evaluation procedures, often introduce uncertainty in key integral parameters such as the...

  7. 42. Multi-coincidence set-up for nuclear forensics with Si-strip and Compton-suppressed HPGe detectors
    Luis Gerardo Sarmiento Pico
    06/05/2026, 11:55
    contributed 12+3

    A radiation detection system combining a single-sided Si strip detector
    and a HPGe-COMPEX detector module together with its anti-Compton shield was set up at Lund University for environmental sample measurements. This system enables high sensitivity alpha-beta-gamma-coincidence analysis, enhancing the identification level of radionuclides in environmental samples. A comprehensive...

  8. 3. Multi-MOX: Facilitating plutonium multi-recycling in the French PWR fleet
    Gulla Torvund (Department of Physics, University of Oslo)
    06/05/2026, 12:10
    contributed 12+3

    The findings of a study published in Annals of Nuclear Energy, June 2025, will be presented (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2025.111641).

    This study examines the novel Multi-MOX (MMOX) strategy for plutonium multi-recycling in PWRs using the CLASS fuel cycle simulation tool with assembly-level calculations. MMOX facilitates the multi-recycling of used nuclear fuel by mixing...

    contributed 15+5

    Between the 1960s and early 1980s, the United States undertook the world’s largest nuclear power construction program. Early projects benefited from declining construction costs, making nuclear power economically competitive with fossil alternatives. From the early 1970s and onward, however, overnight construction costs (OCC) escalated rapidly, coinciding with regulatory tightening, high...

    contributed 15+5

    This presentation will introduce SFI SAINT, an NTNU-led research project funded for the next 8 years.

    "SFI SAINT will conduct research on nuclear power as a zero-emission technology for shipping, with the goal of developing, testing and scaling solutions for commercial use. The center will work on regulations, adaptation to maritime operations, energy efficiency, integration into ships,...
