Vibrations in nuclear applications 2026

Image from the Vibrations in nuclear applications seminar 2024. 

This is the annual seminar of the Energiforsk research programme Vibrations in Nuclear Applications which purpose is to increase the knowledge within the nuclear field on how to best manage issues related to vibrations. This recurring seminar is one of the ways in which we contribute to increasing the knowledge of measurement, analysis, and mitigation of vibrations in key components in the nuclear power plant.
