Accelerator Driven Nuclear Power Plants
Jarchovský, Petr ; Krása,, Antonín (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with utilization of spent nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants of new generation – accelerator driven nuclear power plants and of conversion of this fuel into electrical energy. In the introduction are listed basic physical and theoretical knowledge of nuclear reactors along with their basic division and global distribution. As another point accelerator driven systems are described with their brief development and the basic concept and usage on both the nuclear power plants and transmutation technologies. Some global projects are mentioned here dealing with this system and conduct research. More into detail is point about European projects MYRRHA and ESS, because there are important research facilities worldwide. The next are projects with liquid target as a very promising medium. The last part deals with the calculation of basic parameters of ADS in the MCNPX and its applying.

Tightness measurement of hermetic compartments in NPP
Sklenár, Ondrej ; Martinec, Jiří (referee) ; Šen, Hugo (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with measuring the tightness of the hermetic area of nuclear power plant in the way of improving safety. Describes the layout and function of this area - the primary circuit of NPP with WWER 440/213 reactors, as well as methodology for leakage search and leakage calculation procedures. Personal contribution to the issue is a proposal improving tightness of the current state in hermetic area of NPP Jaslovské Bohunice – transition of jacketed pipe designed to collect water from the floor in the box of the steam generator to the heat exchanger of the shower system. This system belongs to the safety system designed to reduce pressure in the LOCA type of accident.

Zahraniční politika Baracka Obamy
Pata, Martin ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Eichler, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines the foreign policy of the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. A significant theme of Barack Obama's candidacy for presidency was "change"; more specifically change in policy from previous administration. Therefore, the thesis looks at the changes brought about by President Obama once he was elected. First, we look at foreign policy of the United States under President George W. Bush, then we look at foreign policy-related assertions of Barack Obama during his candidacy, and lastly we look at the actual policies of the new administration, with particular focus on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, drones and extrajudicial killing, Guantanamo detention facility and extraordinary rendition, and NSA surveillance.
