(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The danger of high, acute doses of radiation is well documented, but the effects of low-dose radiation below 100 mSv is still heavily debated. Four theories concerning the effects of lowdose radiation are presented here: ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is in the process of conducting a design study to convert from High Enrichment Uranium (HEU) fuel to Low Enrichment Uranium (LEU) fuel. The currently selected LEU fuel design contains 18 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)An evolutionary BWR fuel assembly design was studied as a means to increase the power density of current and future BWR cores. The new assembly concept is based on replacing four traditional assemblies and large water gap ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The nuclear reactors used by the U.S. Navy for submarine propulsion are currently fueled by highly enriched uranium (HEU), but HEU brings administrative and political challenges. This issue has been studied by the Navy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013).The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons creates a loophole that allows a non-nuclear-weapon country to avoid international safeguards governing fissile materials if it claims that the materials will be used ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The recent serious reconsideration of nuclear power as a means for U.S. electric utilities to increase their generation capacity provokes many questions regarding the achievable success of future nuclear power plant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Fusion has been "forty years away", that is, forty years to implementation, ever since the idea of harnessing energy from a fusion reactor was conceived in the 1950s. In reality, however, it has yet to become a viable ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Two research subjects: (1) excitation of "forced ion acoustic waves", and (2) "simultaneous excitation of plasma density fluctuations and geomagnetic field fluctuations" are reported in my M.S. thesis. The data was acquired ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)(cont.) Investigated in this thesis are the excitation and observation of Langmuir wave turbulence caused by the parametric decay instability (PDI) in high-frequency space plasma heating experiments conducted at the NSF/DoD ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Studies are underway in support of the MIT research reactor (MITR-II) conversion from high enriched Uranium (HEU) to low enriched Uranium (LEU), as required by recent non-proliferation policy. With the same core configuration ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Using a unique set of diagnostics and modeling tools, a comprehensive study of impurity transport was performed on Alcator C-Mod L-mode discharges. A new, multi-pulse laser blow-off system was designed and constructed to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Energetic minority protons with -100 keV effective temperature are routinely created in Alcator C-Mod plasmas with the application of ICRF. A new multi-channel Compact Neutral Particle Analyzer is used to make measurements ...
