(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Applications and experiments involving the hypervelocity deformation of solids are difficult to devise, implement, and occur on microsecond time scales. As a result, simulations play a large role in the study of hypervelocity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In the constant effort to increase efficiency, safety margins, and lower cost, a new breed of nuclear reactors, Generation IV, is being developed in which supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO₂) is a prime coolant candidate. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) allows us to explore a large coherent spin system and provides an ideal test-bed for studying strongly interacting multiple-spin system in a large Hilbert space. In this thesis, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)A 1.7MV tandem accelerator was reconstructed and refurbished for this thesis and for surface science applications at the Cambridge laboratory for accelerator study of surfaces (CLASS). At CLASS, an external proton beam ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Many challenges exist when considering nuclear power to provide electricity for bases on the Moon or Mars, including launch safety, landing safety, deployment, control, and protecting the astronauts from radiation. Examples ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This study investigated the growth of multilayers with depth-graded thicknesses and their performance as x- ray mirrors for the next generation of focusing telescopes. Different material combinations were studied for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Fast ions generated from laser-plasma interactions (LPI) have been used to study inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions and laser-foil interactions. LPI, which vary in nature depending on the wavelength and intensity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Fast Neutron Resonance Radiography (NRR) has been devised as an elemental imaging method, with immediate applications to detecting explosives and drugs in passenger suitcases. In the NRR method, the 2-D elemental mapping ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The tokamak is so far the most promising magnetic confinement configuration to control fusion scale plasmas and to be a large scale source of electricity in the future. Built in the shape of a torus of major and minor ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)On August 3, 2007, President George W. Bush signed into law H.R. 1: Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. The law mandates that 100% of air and maritime cargo must be scanned prior to entering ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The internally and externally cooled annular fuel is a new type of fuel for PWRs that enables an increase in core power density by 50% within the same or better safety margins as the traditional solid fuel. Each annular ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This study assesses the neutronic, thermal-hydraulic, and fuel performance aspects of using nitride fuel in place of oxides in Pu-based high conversion light water reactor designs. Using the higher density nitride fuel ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The U.S. Department of Energy recently filed a motion to withdraw the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license application for the High Level Waste Repository at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. As the U.S. has focused exclusively ...
