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.

Quantum computing in many-body physics
Brandejs, Jan ; Cejnar, Pavel (advisor) ; Knapp, František (referee)
Název práce: Kvantové výpočty v mnohočásticové fyzice Autor: Jan Brandejs Katedra: Ústav částicové a jaderné fyziky Vedoucí bakalářské práce: prof. RNDr. Pavel Cejnar, Dr., DSc., Ústav částicové a jaderné fyziky Abstrakt: Při simulaci mnohočásticových kvantových systém· obvykle dochází k exponenciální explozi výpočetní složitosti. Kvantové počítače umožňují ten- to problém principiálně vyřešit. Díky práci R. Feynmanna je známo, že axiomy teorie složitosti vychází z fyzikálních zákon·. Situace se změní, zavedeme-li do výpočetního procesu mimo klasické fyziky i kvantovou teorii. Ukazuje se, že pro efektivní simulaci kvantového systému je vhodné použít jiný, lépe kontrolovatelný kvantový systém. Realizace výpočtu s využitím q-bit· a kvantového paralelismu pak ve vybraných případech vede k zásadní redukci složitosti. Kvantové počítače potenciálně umožňují realizaci výpočt· a simulací, které jsou s klasickými počíta- či prakticky neproveditelné. Zejména na poli kvantové chemie vyvstává možnost přímočaré aplikace. Tato práce je zaměřena na použití kvantových počítač· pro mnohočásticové problémy a obsahuje analýzu složitosti kvantové simulace atomo- vých jader. Klíčová slova: kvantový počítač, kvantová simulace, mnohočásticová fyzika

The theory of nuclear physics for radiological assistants
ŠIMKOVÁ, Kamila
Currently there is not freely available any simple educational text on the subject of nuclear physics foundations, which would be adequate to the knowledge of students in the field of Radiology Assistant and other related fields. Study materials that are commonly used are mere transcripts of a scientific knowledge which needs to be adjusted by the presenter in order to be correctly understood by students within the stipulated time. The need for defining an educational version of a nuclear physics for Radiology Assistant resulted in preparation and submission of this thesis. During the process several objectives emerged: - create awaited, projected and implemented curriculum (create comprehensible educational text and verify its adequacy) on the subject of nuclear physics foundations for Radiology Assistant - verify the suitability of the project curriculum using the experimental teaching followed by subsequent verification with questionnaire survey - apply methods of descriptive statistics and mathematical statistics This thesis was based on two hypotheses verification. 1st hypothesis: By application of curricular process theory and developing appropriate educational text can be processed theoretical foundations of nuclear physics for Radiology Assistants. 2nd hypothesis: Knowledge of Radiology Assistants in the field of theoretical foundations of nuclear physics obtained from drawn up educational text will have distribution near to the normal distribution. Contribution of the thesis is the elaborated educational text and test that can be used for teaching theoretical foundations of nuclear physics. After evaluation of individual questions in the test, can be recommended to focus on students' knowledge in those areas where lower scores were achieved.

INIS: Nuclear Grey Literature Repository
Savić, Dobrica
As one of the world's largest collections of published information on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, INIS represents an extraordinary example of world cooperation. Current membership includes 130 countries and 24 international organizations. 154 INIS members share and allow access to their valuable nuclear information resources, preserving them for future generations and offering a freely available nuclear knowledge repository. The presentation will give an overview of INIS role, information sharing activities, ways of nuclear knowledge organization and capacity building. It will also discuss some technological trends, current challenges and future developments.

Comparison of knowledge from nuclear physics for protection of inhabitants at laical and expert community
BARTOŇOVÁ, Miroslava
The primary objective of this thesis was to achieve comparison of knowledge of nuclear physics for population protection between general and professional public. This idea is based on the assumption of the possible existence of extraordinary events with occurring ionizing radiation and for this reason it is necessary to train specialists for the eventuality of these cases. These professionals should have wider knowledge of nuclear physics than general lay population. This issue has not been examined with lay and professional public yet, as well as there has been no comparison of the two listed groups. Another objective of this thesis was to structure the basics of nuclear physics for workers in civil protection training. For this purpose, the author of this work created a model of nuclear physics, reflecting the basic knowledge of nuclear physics, based on the analysis of the curricula for the IRS. The author explored the forms of studies of university program for the public protection, of members of the Fire and Rescue Service, of university study program for paramedics, of staff of the Anti-organised crime department of Police of the Czech Republic and of the Customs Administration. The analysis showed the widest expected range of knowledge at the technicians of the Chemical Service of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech republic (the chemist), who are professionally trained in the handling of hazardous substances and ionizing radiation sources. These members have become the monitored representatives for the professional community in the survey of this thesis. Lay general public was represented by people from the social circle of the author of this work, i.e. they were an unrepresentative sample of the general public. The theory of physics curricular process was also used, the application of which served to create an alternative test from nuclear physics, which was presented to the respondents. The questionnaires were filled in by 52 technicians of the Chemical Service of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech republic from different parts of the country and by 50 people of the lay public. It should be noted that the questionnaire was created considering the training of the technicians of the Chemical Service, in which nuclear physics has only a supporting role. One of the objectives of the thesis also included the subsequent statistical evaluation of the applied tests of the knowledge of nuclear physics. For validating mainly the non-parametric and parametric hypotheses tests were used. For the theoretical division of knowledge among professionals the existence of the Poisson distribution (the distribution of "rare" cases) was assumed and the theoretical division of investigating the general public should be close to a normal distribution. Also the difference between the knowledge of laymen and experts was investigated. To meet the defined objectives of this work three hypotheses were set, for their verification the methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics were used. Hypotheses were set as follows: H1. Theoretical distribution of knowledge among the general public will be close to normal distribution. H2. Theoretical distribution of knowledge among professionals will not have a normal distribution. H3. Comparison of knowledge in both groups by using the parametric tests will lead to the adoption of alternative hypothesis. All three defined hypotheses were verified via statistical survey and accepted positively. The test, however, does not show the ability or inability of the tested experts to carry out practical tasks associated with their profession. This thesis only aimed to discover theoretical knowledge of nuclear physics, which is based on the theoretical assumption that specialists dealing with adverse events with occurring ionizing radiation pass through a variety of specialized courses that include introduction to the theory of nuclear physics.
