(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Safety culture refers to the attitudes, behaviors, and conditions that affect safety performance and often arises in discussions following incidents at nuclear power plants. As it involves both operational and management ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Structural aspects of the performance of light water reactor (LWR) fuel rod with triplex silicon carbide (SiC) cladding - an emerging option to replace the zirconium alloy cladding - are assessed. Its behavior under accident ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)One of the biggest challenges in the physical realization of quantum information processing (QIP) is the precise control of the system. In order to achieve this, we characterize the gates, errors, and noise occurring in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful tool for the simulation of nuclear reactor coolant flows, such as in sodium fast reactors. In these reactors, the phenomenon of thermal striping -- characterized by oscillatory ...
-
Scattering properties of polyacrylamide gels and their relation to protein electrophoretic migration (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In historical and current experience, the economics of nuclear power have proven to be problematic for utility companies. Construction costs and schedules have proven to be highly unpredictable, with the average reactor ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Error correction codes are necessary for the development of reliable quantum computers. Such codes can prevent the lost of information from decoherence caused by external perturbations. This thesis evaluates a five qubit ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Stainless steel canisters encased in vented concrete overpacks are used to store used nuclear fuel at interim spent fuel storage installations in the United States. These storage systems are exposed to the elements. There ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We developed a unique methodology to selectively irradiate the vascular endothelium in vivo to better understand the role of vascular damage in causing normal tissue radiation side-effects.The relationship between vascular ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)With growing demands for commercial nuclear power, there is also a growing need for better energy efficiency from nuclear power reactors. In order to reach a high burnup up to 100 MWd/kg, previous research has examined the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Comparing different nuclear fuel cycles and assessing their implications require a fuel cycle simulation model as complete and realistic as possible. In this thesis, methodological implications of modeling choices are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
-
(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 ...
