    • Conceptual Reactor Physics Design of a Lead-Bismuth-Cooled Critical Actinide Burner 

      Hejzlar, Pavel; Driscoll, Michael J.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2000-02)
      Destruction of actinides in accelerator-driven subcriticals and in stand-alone critical reactors is of contemporary interest as a means to reduce long-term high-level waste radiotoxicity. This topical report is focused ...

    • A Semi-Passive Containment Cooling System Conceptual Design 

      Liu, H.; Todreas, N. E.; Driscoll, M. J.; Byun, C. S.; Kim, Y. H.; e.a. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 1998-02)
      The objective of this project was to investigate a passive containment cooling system (PCCS) for the double concrete containment of the Korean Next Generation Reactor (KNGR). Two conceptual PCCS designs: the thermosyphon ...

    • Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Regulatory Implications of Improved Emergency Diesel Generator Reliability 

      Utton, S.; Golay, M. W. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 1998-01)
      The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) steady progress towards risk-informed performance-based regulation (RIPBR) prompted the practical application of this regulatory tool in order to demonstrate its potential benefits. ...
