Developing a steady state neutronic model for the PBR-250 HTR using Serpent 2.1.31
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023-10)The PBR-250 reactor is a Generation-IV pebble bed high-temperature reactor with a rating of 250MWth and has the ability to produce electricity and process heat of up to 1000 °C. The most desirable feature of this reactor ... -
Global sensitivity analysis of reactor parameters
(North-West University, 2011)Calculations of reactor parameters of interest (such as neutron multiplication factors, decay heat, reaction rates, etc.), are often based on models which are dependent on groupwise neutron cross sections. The uncertainties ... -
Monte Carlo Simulations of Compton Polarization in Astrophysical Sources
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)The description of many high-energy astrophysical sources relies on the production of relativistic jets that are accompanied by the acceleration of particles up to very high energies, and the production of non-thermal ... -
Subtleties in arbitrage pricing under real market conditions for derivative instruments and counterparty credit risk
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)The thesis consist of four articles presented in seperate chapters, addressing selected subtle issues arising from the arbitrage pricing theory in the real market, with particular focus on derivative instruments and ... -
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a materials test reactor
(2013)This study was based on the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a generic 10 MW Materials Test Reactor (MTR). In this study an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis methodology called code scaling applicability and ...
