(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Sodium Fast Reactors are one of the three candidates of GEN-IV fast reactors. Fast reactors play an important role in saving uranium resources and reducing nuclear wastes. Conventional fast reactors rely on transuranic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)One of the ways to lower the cost of nuclear energy is to increase the power density of the reactor core. Features of fuel design that enhance the potential for high power density are derived based on characteristics of ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Plasma-material interactions (PMI) in magnetic fusion devices such as fuel retention, material erosion and redeposition, and material mixing present significant scientific and engineering challenges, particularly for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)An integrated model has been developed to evaluate the effect of reactor flux, fluence, and other operating conditions on crack growth rates in austenitic stainless steels in boiling water reactor (BWR) environments. The ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Sodium Fast Reactors (SFR) show promise as an effective way to produce clean safe nuclear power while properly managing the fuel cycle. Accurate computer modeling is an important step in the design and eventual licensing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Proliferation is the results of a competition between the proliferating country (proliferation) and the party to resist the proliferation efforts (safeguarder). An integrated evaluation methodology to evaluate proliferation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The performance of coated fuel particles is essential for the development and deployment of High Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) systems for future power generation. Fuel performance modeling is indispensable for understanding ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Previous studies conducted at MIT showed that power performance of typical pin geometry PWRs are limited by three main constraints: core pressure drop, critical heat flux (CHF) and fretting phenomena of the fuel rods against ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In-Vessel Retention ("IVR") is a severe accident management strategy that is power limiting to the Westinghouse AP1000 due to critical heat flux ("CHF") at the outer surface of the reactor vessel. Increasing the CHF level ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1969)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Topological insulators are a category of phases in condensed matter with inverted conduction and valence bands, which is protected by time reversal symmetry. As a result, the bulk keeps insulating while the surface supports ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Small-angle scattering (SAS) has been widely applied to study the microstructure of colloidal systems. Although colloids cover a wide range of materials, in general they can simply be viewed as basic building particles ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)ICRF-heated discharges on Alcator C-Mod are associated with enhanced sputtering of molybdenum plasma facing surfaces and increased levels of core impurity contents, which subsequently degrade the core plasma performance. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)A high-speed video and infrared thermography based technique has been used to obtain detailed and fundamental time- and space-resolved information on pool boiling heat transfer. The work is enabled by recent advances in ...
