Alternative sources of nuclear energy
Svoboda, Josef ; Zlámal, Ondřej (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
In places where it is not possible to use conventional production and distribution of energy, autonomous sources take over. Most of autonomous sources use solar energy, wind energy and other renewable resources. For applications such as special missions into outer space the usage of conventional sources is not possible. Except for powering special satellites, unconventional nuclear sources are also used in autonomous unmanned objects located in distanced areas with extreme natural conditions. It is also used in unusual propulsions of ground, water and air machine. These vehicles are for example pacemaker powered by radioisotope source, submarines, aircrafts and other vehicles supplied by nuclear reactor of unconventional conception. In this bachelor thesis there are globally summarized questions connected with unconventional sources of nuclear energy with detailed description of chosen parts. This work is concerned with finding more efficient machinery for conversion of heat energy supplied by radioisotope decay to electric energy.

Nuclear facilities in transport
Bartošek, Nikola ; Maar, Tomáš (referee) ; Suk, Ladislav (advisor)
Bachelor thesis summarizes a basic overview of the use of nuclear facilities in transport. It focuses on the development and application of technology. Brief introduction mentions the development of nuclear physics and the search for suitable applications at the beginning of the nuclear age. Main part deals with use of nuclear devices in maritime and space transport. It discusses the types of reactors used in nuclear submarines, navy and civil ships. The issues of decommissioning and dismantling nuclear vessels are mentioned. Next the technology of radioisotope and reactor generators is described. In the last part the possibilities of using nuclear power for thermal rockets and ion engines are pointed out.
