      The nuclear industry must address the issues faced by the current new-built plants in the west- ern world if it is to remain cost-competitive with other forms of electricity generation. Serial, factory-based production of ...
    • Production of Mixed U–Zr Nitride Nuclear Fuel Powders from Metallic U–Zr Alloys 

      Torres Oliver, Miquel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya / Kungliga Tecniska Högskolan, 2010)
      Projecte/Treball Final de Carrera
      Accés obert
      The main objective of this master thesis was assessing and evaluating the production of mixed U-Zr nitride fuel powders directly from metallic U-Zr binary alloys, instead of using separate nitride powders. Another secondary ...
