1 SNEC? SNEC = Sustainable Nuclear Energy Centre Sammanslagning av sex olika divisioner vid Chalmers, som alla på ett eller annat sätt ägnar sig åt kärnteknisk forskning Avdelningen för Kärnkemi Avdelningen för Nukleärteknik Avdelningen för Materialens mikrostruktur Avdelningen för Avancerad oförstörande provning Avdelningen för Fysisk resursteori Avdelningen för Fluiddynamik Christian Ekberg, föreståndare och vetenskaplig ledare Stina Rydberg, koordinator

2 Research areas Gen II + III Gen IV Fuel cycle Nuclear techniques Degradation Nuclear Materials Multi physics modelling Severe nuclear accidents Non destructive testing Technology assessment of nuclear expansion Nuclear techniques Separation/transmutation Multi physics modelling Technology assessment of nuclear expansion Radiation protection Nuclear Safeguards Final repository Separation/transmutation Radiation protection Politic of spent nuclear fuel Novel nuclear fuel production Radiation protection Nuclear Safeguards Novel nuclear fuel production Safety (fuel coolant interactions)

3 SNEC:s verksamhet i fyra punkter Multidisciplinär forskning Tillhandahålla kompetens med relevans och kvalitet Kontaktpunkt mellan industri, näringsliv, myndigheter, samhälle och akademin Oberoende röst i det offentliga samtalet kring kärnteknik och strålsäkerhet

4 SNEC Eriksgata juni 2015 Christian Ekberg och Stina Rydberg, dvs. föreståndare/ vetenskaplig ledare samt koordinator för SNEC, har genomfört en rundresa till några av SNECs externa intressenter Rundresan företogs 8-12 juni 2015 Besök på OKG AB, AB Svafo, Studsvik Nuclear AB, SKB AB, Vattenfall AB, Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB Under resan har SNECs företrädare sökt svaret på två frågor. Q: Finns en plats för ett kärntekniskt centrum i Sverige och vilken roll ska det i så fall ha? A: Ja. Främst samordnad forskning, men även studentaktiviteter, fortbildning, kommunikation. Gärna nationell samordning. Q: Hur ser en hållbar finansieringsmodell för SNEC ut? A: SNEC-OH på forskningsprojekt

5 Education (Nuclear Science and Technology) Headed by Anders Nordlund with Teodora Retegan as vice head A very broad Master covering clear tracks in physics, chemistry and materials The number of students in the program has increased this year but still modest 3x as many students taking courses as elective courses Some issues with employment for physics students while chemists and material specialists have it easier. Need for a more academic focus in the education as well as more visibility for bachelor students

6 Education (national and international) Solution chemistry on EU level Chalmers plutoniuym school on EU level Offering specialised cources in actinide and lanthanide chamistry nationally Participating with teaching parts in cources offerened at othet places in Sweden, Europé and the world

7 Materials Microstructure Mattias Thuvander Krystyna Stiller Gustav Sundell Dissertation spring 2015 Degradation of zirconium alloys, APT Kristina Lindgren PhD student Aging of RPV steel, APT Silvia Tuzi PhD student Corrosion of Nibase alloys, SEM, TEM Jiaxin Chen 20%, Studsvik Department of Applied Physics Advanced microscopy techniques to study degradation mechanisms in nuclear power plants Clusters in an irradiated RPV steel, APT
