Risks Related to Involving the Voluntary Fire-fighter Units in the Radiation Situation Monitoring
Myslíková, Veronika ; Strmeň, Milan (referee) ; Adamec, Vladimír (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the analyzing the current state of monitoring the radiation situation by volunteer firefighters units in the emergency planning area in Dukovany nuclear power plant surroundings. The process of measurement is divided into preparation for radiation leakage and application of learned procedures in the case of the occurred radiation leakage. The aim is to identify the dangers in the current process as well as the possible risks in the case of radiation emergency by risk analysis. Based on this analysis, improvements suggestions will be made. These measures will be evaluated by their applicability and their economic value. The system of monitoring by voluntary firefighters will be compared with another monitoring system, which can be also used. The result of the analysis will be a more effective way of monitoring, including safety of the firefighter and less financial complexity.

Ionizing Radiation, Residual Heat Generation, and Inventory of Spent Nuclear Fuel
Hájková, Barbora ; Šťastný, Ondřej (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with ionizing radiation, residual heat generation, and inventory of spent nuclear fuel. It introduces types of ionizing radiation and half-life of isotopes, which are contained in the nuclear fuel. Furthermore, using code UwB1, a simulation of the burning of nuclear fuel used at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant from the introduction of fuel into the reactor to its storage in deep repositories in 2065, is carried out.

The Dukovany NPP spent nuclear fuel source term investigation for deep repository needs according to LTO options
Penzinger, Pavel ; ČEZ,, Ondřej Zlámal, (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with the analysis of source term of the spent nuclear fuel of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant in order to determine the proposals for the transfer of spent nuclear fuel to a deep geological repository in the Czech Republic. To introduce the reader into the issue are briefly described the main aspects, such as the development of the nuclear fuel used in the history of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. These aspects have an influence on the final draft of the timetable. One of the important partial tasks is the processing of an estimate of the future range of spent nuclear fuel, which is based on the current ideas of company ČEZ, a.s. for the future direction of the fuel cycle at the Dukovany nuclear power plant. For the purposes of this work, the key data are the time dependencies of radioactivity and the development of residual heat in individual fuel assemblies. This data are calculated by the software called PAL440_R4, based on the prepared estimates of the spent nuclear fuel assortment. The calculated data are then edited and sorted by MS Excel. For the sake of completeness, the characteristic values and the time dependencies of the radioactivity and the development of residual heat in fuel assemblies. Final timetables for the transfer of spent nuclear fuel to a deep geological repository are processed in several variants, and their selection and application options are justified. For illustration are important parameters given in the form of tables and charts.

The heat dissipation efficiency of the steam generator Dukovany at low water levels
Veselý, Jakub ; Šnajdárek, Ladislav (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to simulate the course of events during Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant blackout and to determine the optimal process of cooling down the cold branches of the primary circuit loops to secure the maximum amount of the primary fuel needed for the residual heat outlet so that the operating staff has as much time as possible for renewing the electric power supply. The first part of the thesis describes nuclear power plants built in the Czech Republic and in the world as well as reactor blocks whose construction is being considered. The detailed description of Dukovany’s steam generator is shared in chapter three. Following chapter summarizes blackouts that occurred at power plants around the world, events that might have led to blackouts in the Czech Republic, and it also describes current approach to blackout problematics at Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. Chapters six and seven contain the core of the thesis. That includes detailed description of a mathematical model explaining the behaviour of a reactor block during blackout as well as the analysis of the results found.

Power and Temperature Distribution in Nuclear Fuel Assemblies of VVER-440 reactor at Dukovany NPP
Smola, Luděk ; Novotný, Filip (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This Master’s thesis focuses on calculation of power and temperature distribution in fuel assemblies of VVER-440 reactor at Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. Theoretical section contains a brief description of VVER-440 technology, fuel and its development at Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, basics of heat generation in nuclear reactors as well as an overview and categorization of computer codes, used for core calculations. Of these codes, the MOBY-DICK computer code is then described in depth, including its input and output files. The MOBY-DICK code is later on used for pinwise calculating power distribution of selected fuel cycles of defined units at Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, with vizualization of output values for characteristic fuel assemblies. Results of this computation are then used for analysis, whether uneven power distribution in the core and heat generation gradient within fuel assemblies have any influence on measuring channel output temperatures, which is the pivotal part of this thesis.

Possibilities of increasing electric supply from Nuclear power plant Dukovany
Veselý, Jakub ; Petz, Petr (referee) ; Raček, Jiří (advisor)
Subject of the thesis is to describe the ongoing possibilities to increase the electric supply from the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and monitoring the selection of the new ultimate heat sink of important technical water system in Dukovany Power Plant. In the first part of the thesis there is a short overview of nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic and around the world. In the following chapters there is a description of a project dealing with increasing the electric supply from the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant – project Safety 16 Terra EDU [16] and its parts – subproject Utilization of project reserves [19] and subproject with the goal to reduce the shutdowns. In the last part there is a monitoring the selection of a new ultimate heat sink – tower fan – in case of loss current cooling towers due to an extreme wind.
