(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Stress corrosion cracking (SCC), failure due to environmentally assisted crack nucleation and propagation, is an important metallurgical problem with impact on current and future designs of ship structural components and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)A crucial issue surrounding the feasibility of fast ignition, an alternative inertial confinement fusion scheme, is the ability to efficiently couple energy from an incident short-pulse laser to a high-density, pre-compressed ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A comprehensive risk-informed methodology for passive safety system design and performance assessment is presented and demonstrated on the Flexible Conversion Ratio Reactor (FCRR). First, the methodology provides a framework ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The objective of this study is to improve quality and reliability of safety-critical software in the nuclear industry. It is accomplished by focusing on the following two areas: Formulation of a standard extensive integrated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The need for large-size detectors for long-range active interrogation (Al) detection has generated interest in water-based detector technologies. AI is done using external radiation sources to induce fission and to detect, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The poloidal field and corresponding toroidal current profiles have been among the most difficult and most important measurements in tokamak fusion research. One method demonstrated to obtain information about these ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The once through nuclear fuel cycle adopted by the majority of countries with operating commercial power reactors imposes a number of concerns. The radioactive waste created in the once through nuclear fuel cycle has to ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)During the past twenty-five years, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been progressing toward a more risk-informed, performance-based regulation. This regulatory framework has effectively supported the development ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The failure probability of a passive decay heat removal system after a LOCA is evaluated as part of a risk-informed design process for a helium-cooled fast reactor. The system was modeled using RELAP5-3D. The epistemic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Fundamental objectives of sustainability, economics, safety and reliability, and proliferation resistance, physical protection and stakeholder relations must be considered during the design of an advanced reactor. However, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Decision making as a part of nuclear power plant operations is a critical, but common, task. Plant management is forced to make decisions that may have safety and economic consequences. Formal decision theory offers the ...
