    • An evaluation of tight-pitch PWR cores 

      Correa, Francisco; Driscoll, Michael J.; Lanning, David D. (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-08)
      The impact of tight pitch cores on the consumption of natural uranium ore has been evaluated for two systems of coupled PWR's namely one particular type of thorium system-U-235/U02: Pu/Th02: U-233/ThO2--and the ...

    • Numerical modeling of buoyant plumes in a turbulent, stratified atmosphere 

      Bennett, Ralph Gregory; Golay, Michael Warren (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-01)
      A widely applicable computational model of buoyant, bent-over plumes in realistic atmospheres is constructed. To do this, the two-dimensional, time-dependent fluid mechanics equations are numerically integrated, while ...

    • Radioactivity releases to the environment by nuclear plants : locally and for the total fuel cycle 

      Marlay, Robert Charles (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-03)
      The nuclear fuel cycle is categorized into nine components. Each component is described with respect to its operations and radioactive effluent streams. Engineering estimates of radioactive releases to the environment ...
