Framework for the cost of policy implementation of the South African nuclear expansion program
(North-West University, 2010)Determining the cost of implementing a nuclear energy policy is very important due to the high costs associated with nuclear programs. Such programs may be unattainable to certain countries due to the many requirements ... -
The identification and application of a method to test chloride ingress into concrete, sulphur-concrete and sulphur-cement coated concrete
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Concrete is the main material used for the construction of civil structures in industry. Concrete is also used in the construction of nuclear power plant civil structures (e.g. the containment building). Concrete ages but ... -
Model predictive control of a Brayton cycle based power plant
(2012)The aim of this study is to implement the model predictive control in order to optimally control the power output of a Brayton cycle based power plant. Other control strategies have been tried but there still exists the ... -
Neutronic simulation of a European Pressurised Reactor
(2014)The South African government’s integrated resource plan for electricity IRP2010 states that the country plans to have an additional 9.6 GW of nuclear power on the national electricity grid by 2030. In support of this, the ... -
Performance prediction for multi-effect distillation (MED) plants
(North-West University, 2007)Many countries worldwide experience water shortages on a daily basis and this water crisis is expected to increase even more in the near future due to limited fresh water resources. Alternative sources of fresh water ... -
Roadmap for new entrants into the South African nuclear manufacturing market
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)There are 3 opportunities for non-nuclear suppliers to become part of the nuclear supply chain in South Africa. These are the announced New Nuclear Build (although being put on hold until finalisation of the IRP 2018), ... -
Technical evaluation of the copper chloride water splitting cycle
(North-West University, 2011)The global energy sector is facing a crisis caused by the increasing demand for energy. Non-renewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases that are largely blamed for climate change. The Kyoto ... -
Techno–economic analysis of nuclear project management in South Africa
(2014)This research report is a techno-economic analysis of the nuclear project management capacity in South Africa. It will focus on the project development phases of the nuclear expansion programme. The author has nuclear ...
