    • Conceptual Design of a Large, Passive Pressure-Tube Light Water Reactor 

      Hejzlar, P.; Todreas, N. E.; Driscoll, M. J. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 1994-06-01)
      A design for a large, passive, light water reactor has been developed. The proposed concept is a pressure tube reactor of similar design to CANDU reactors, but differing in three key aspects. First, a solid Sic-coated ...

    • Effective Thermal Conductivity of Prismatic MHTGR Fuel 

      Han, J. C.; Driscoll, M. J.; Todreas, N. E. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 1989-09-30)
      The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is an essential passive safety feature of the Modular High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR). Its function is to assure the protection of both public safety and owner investment. ...

    • Investigation of Pressure-Tube and Calandria-Tube Deformation Following a Single Channel Blockage Event in ACR-700 

      Gerardi, Craig Douglas; Buongiorno, Jacopo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2005-11)
      The ACR-700 is an advanced pressure-tube (PT) reactor being developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). As in conventional CANDU reactors, the PTs are horizontal. Each PT is surrounded by a calandria tube (CT), ...
