    • Conceptual Design of Molten Salt Loop Experiment for MIT Research Reactor 

      Bean, Malcolm K.; Dewitt, Gregory Lee; Cabeche, Dion T.; Gerrity, Thomas P.; Haratyk, Geoffrey; e.a. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. MIT Reactor Redesign Program, 2011-08-01)
      Molten salt is a promising coolant candidate for Advanced High Temperature Reactor (AHTR) Gen-IV designs. The low neutron absorption, high thermal capacity, chemical inertness, and high boiling point at low pressure of ...

    • Cross Section Generation Strategy for High Conversion Light Water Reactors 

      Herman, Bryan R.; Shwageraus, Eugene; Forget, Benoit; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2011-06)
      High conversion water reactors (HCWR), such as the Resource-renewable Boiling Water Reactor (RBWR), are being designed with axial heterogeneity of alternating fissile and blanket zones to achieve a conversion ratio of ...
