Transmuting the Arid: Fission‐Powered Visions—Unlocking Ghana’s Aquatic Destiny Through Nuclear Desalination

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Water scarcity poses a mounting constraint on Ghana’s socioeconomic development, intensified by climate‐driven hydrological variability, rapid urbanization, and industrial expansion. This study presents a Ghana‐specific techno‐economic and policy‐integrated assessment of nuclear‐powered seawater desalination, moving beyond generic applications of ...

Multiphysics simulations of fast transients in VVER-1000 and VVER-440 reactors

open access: yesWWER Fuel Performance, Modelling and Experimental Support, 2015
FINIX is a recently developed fuel behaviour module that is designed to provide "simple but sufficient" descriptions of the most essential fuel behaviour phenomena in multiphysics simulations. In such simulations, it is possible to obtain significant improvement in the feedback to neutronics or thermal hydraulics modelling even with a relatively simple

Global Fossil Methane Emissions Constrained by Multi‐Isotopic Atmospheric Methane Histories

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract The global CH4 budget of sources and sinks is highly uncertain, particularly the emissions from specific sources such as fossil fuels (FF) or agriculture. Here, we estimate plausible global CH4 source and sink scenarios using historical observations and simulations of atmospheric CH4 mole fraction and its stable isotopic (δ13C‐CH4, δD‐CH4) and

Development of an Analytic Nodal Diffusion Solver in Multigroups for 3D Reactor Cores with Rectangular or Hexagonal Assemblies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
More accurate modelling of physical phenomena involved in present and future nuclear reactors requires a multi-scale and multi-physics approach. This challenge can be accomplished by the coupling of best-estimate core-physics, thermal-hydraulics and ...

Development and Verification of a Spatial Dynamics Code RESTA‐3D for Light Water Reactors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
A neutronics/thermal‐hydraulics (TH) coupled spatial dynamics code, reactor system transient analysis‐three dimensional (RESTA‐3D), has been developed for both static and transient analysis of large advanced light water reactors (LWRs), with a focus on control rod (CR) ejection accidents.

Assessing the Performance of Point and Two‐Point Kinetics Models in Simulating the Control Rod Drop Accident in VVER‐1000 Reactors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Reactivity‐initiated accidents (RIAs), such as the control rod drop accident (CRDA), are classified as design‐basis accidents (DBAs) in the final safety analysis report (FSAR) of a nuclear power plant (NPP), and investigating these events is crucial.

Pressurized Water Reactor Transient Detection With Artificial Intelligence to Support Reactor Operators

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Nuclear reactors are subject to strict safety standards due to the critical nature of operational safety. Detecting transients as fast and accurately as possible is essential to reactor safety especially to reduce the human error of operators. In order to enhance this process, artificial intelligence (AI) offers strong opportunities.
