Evaluation of TH multi-scale coupling methods in BEPU analysis
The combined use of thermal-hydraulics system with sub-channel codes (TH-TH coupling) in transient analysis provides an integrated tool with the capability of modelling in detail both the core thermal-hydraulic conditions ...
Local optics corrections in the HL-LHC
In order to increase the performance of particle colliders, it is crucial to make the beam sizes at the collision points as small as possible. This causes an increase of the beam size in the region surrounding the collision ...
Analysis of energetic particle-driven Alfvénic instabilities in tokamak and stellarator plasmas using three dimensional numerical tools
In this thesis, a detailed analysis of the experientially observed energetic particle-driven Alfvénic instabilities in tokamak and stellarator plasmas using three dimensional numerical tools based on the reduced MHD model ...
Neutron capture cross section measurement of the heaviest s-process branching 204Tl and of 203Tl at CERN n_TOF
Neutron capture cross sections are fundamental in the study of the slow neutron capture process of nucleosynthesis, also known as the s-process, which produces half of the observed solar system abundances of elements heavier ...
Study of a Compton camera based on CsI(Tl) scintillator bars for radiological environmental imaging
Compton cameras are used for radiological imaging, which can be useful in environmental applications and especially in determining the position of hidden sources. Current Compton cameras are based on pixelated detectors ...
Computational analysis of ion cyclotron resonance frequency heating for JET experiments
Heating plasmas to a relevant fusion temperature is one of the key aspects of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Radio frequency (RF) heating with electromagnetic waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) ...
Levels and behaviour of radionuclides in water treatment plants : the case of the Barcelona metropolitan area urban water cycle
The Barcelona metropolitan area (BMA; 3.2 M inhabitants) has an integrated urban water cycle management. Different type of treatment plants are located along the drinking, sewerage and reuse networks where specific treatments ...

In Synchrotron Light Source facilities with high energy and low emittance electron beams different techniques for improving the quality of the synchrotron light for the users are applied. With this aim ALBA, the Spanish ...
Development of the new AINA code and its application to the Safety Analysis of the European DEMO designs
A conclusion that can be drawn from the historical safety analyses developed for tokamaks fusion reactors is that some of the major risks involve incidents in the vacuum vessel. In order to evaluate plasma evolution and ...
Development and assessment of estimate methods for internal dosimetry using PET/CT
The aim of this thesis was to assess and develop internal dose calculations methods in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures to patients undergone PET/CT explorations. Towards this objective, the accuracy ...
Historical review of fire safety at NPP and application of fire PSA to Westinghouse PWR NPP in the frame of risk-informed decision making by
The importance of fire as a potential initiator of multiple-system failures took on a new perspective after the cable-tray fire at Browns Ferry in 1975 The review have shown that the first generation Nuclear Power Plant ...
