Connaway, Heather M. (Heather Moira)(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The MIT Research Reactor (MITR-II) is currently undergoing analysis for the planned conversion from high enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU), as part of a global effort to minimize the availability of ...
Pradipta, Rezy(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
In this thesis, we investigate the potential role played by large-scale anomalous heat sources (e.g. prolonged heat wave events) in generating acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs) that might trigger widespread plasma turbulence ...
Artz, Mark E(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The main goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of axial injection of a high brightness beam from an Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source into a high magnetic field cyclotron. Axial injection from an ion ...
Passerini, Stefano(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
For decades, nuclear energy development was based on the expectation that recycling of the fissionable materials in the used fuel from today's light water reactors into advanced (fast) reactors would be implemented as soon ...
O'Hanley, Harrison Fagan(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The separate effects of surface wettability, porosity, and roughness on critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were examined using carefully-engineered surfaces. All test surfaces were prepared on ...
