(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This is a study of fault detection for nuclear reactor systems. Basic concepts are derived from fundamental theories on system observers. Different types of fault- actuator fault, sensor fault, and system dynamics fault ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The nuclear industry has relied on the concept of Defense in Depth (DID) and traditional safety margins to deal with the uncertainties associated with the design and operation of nuclear facilities. These concepts were ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The thesis investigates the potential of fertile free fast lead-cooled modular reactors as efficient incinerators of plutonium and minor actinides (MAs) for application to dedicated fuel cycles for transmutation. A methodology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A heterogeneous LWR core design, which employs a thorium/uranium once through fuel cycle, is optimized for good economics, wide safety margins, minimal waste burden and high proliferation resistance. The focus is on the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Spurred by the renewed interest in nuclear power, Gas-cooled Fast Reactors (GFRs) have received increasing attention in the past decade. Motivated by the goals of the Generation-IV International Forum (GIF), a GFR cooled ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A unique system has been developed for studying impurity transport in the edge plasma of Alcator C-Mod. Impurity gas (which for these experiments is deuterated ethylene, C₂D₄) is injected locally into the scrape-off layer ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Near-sonic parallel plasma flows are persistently observed in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamaks, at locations far from material surfaces. Ballooning-like transport asymmetries are thought to be a principal driver for ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is the most prevalent material degradation mechanism for low carbon steel in steam-water flow systems. The band of uncertainty in predictions of wear rate due to FAC spans one to two orders ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1961)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Theoretical discoveries in the nascent field of quantum information processing hold great promise, suggesting the means for increased computational power and unconditionally secure communications. To achieve these advances ...
