(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In order to provide improved predictions of Pellet Cladding Mechanical Interaction (PCMI) for the FRAPCON nuclear fuel performance code, a new model, the FRAPCON Radial-Axial Soft Pellet (FRASP) model, was developed. This ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is evaluating the conversion from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enrichment uranium (LEU) fuel. In addition to the fuel element re-design from 15 to 18 plates per element, a reactor ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Applications and experiments involving the hypervelocity deformation of solids are difficult to devise, implement, and occur on microsecond time scales. As a result, simulations play a large role in the study of hypervelocity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A compact cyclotron built with superconducting magnets could be a transformative solution to many scientific problems facing the defense, medical, and energy industries today. This thesis discusses three potential applications ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The main drawback to renewable energy systems is the higher cost of production compared to competitors such as fossil fuels. Thus, there is a need to increase the efficiency of renewable energy systems in an effort to make ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The effects of orientation angle, subcooling, heat flux, mass flux, and pressure on bubble growth and detachment in subcooled flow boiling were studied using a high-speed video camera in conjunction with a two-phase flow ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The key difference between a regulated and a liberalized electricity market is the establishment of a competitive generation marketplace via spot markets, day-ahead auctions, and over-the-counter trading activity. In a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In order to operate a reactor safely and efficiently, computer simulations must be used to predict certain nuclear characteristics of the reactor. To determine how materials change in a fission power environment, a ...

(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, 2012)Patient positioning is crucial to accurate dose delivery during radiation therapy to ensure the proper localization of dose to the target tumor volume. In patient positioning for stereotactic radiation therapy treatment, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I designed and implemented a particle-in-cell (PIC) code on a graphical processing unit (GPU) using NVIDA's Compute Unified Architecture (CUDA). The massively parallel nature of computing on a GPU nessecitated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Reactors utilizing a highly energetic neutron spectrum, often termed fast reactors, offer large fuel utilization improvements over the thermal reactors currently used for nuclear energy generation. Conventional fast reactor ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The objective of this thesis was to assess the effectiveness of using a Wigner-Seitz (WS) cell with an adjusted moderator thickness to produce more accurate resonance self-shielded cross sections for light water reactor ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A beam delivery and transport system were designed for the use in MIT Materials Test Facility (M2TF). The purpose of this beam delivery system was to design a 36 MeV Proton Cyclotron for DPA accumulation and a 100 MeV ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Fuel swelling and fission gas generation for fast reactor fuels are of high importance since they are among the main limiting factors in the development of metallic fast reactor fuel. Five new fission gas and swelling ...
-
(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, 2012)Previous studies conducted at MIT showed that the power performance of an inverted pressurized water reactor (IPWR) conceptual design, i.e. the coolant and moderator are inverted such that the fuel is the continuous medium ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In ITER and in eventual reactors, enhanced impurity confinement due to internal transport barriers (ITBs) and H-mode operation establishes a very low tolerance for high-Z impurities [1]. Experiments have shown that impurity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)After the end of World War II, the world entered an even more turbulent period as it faced the beginnings of the Cold War, during which the prospect of mutually assured destruction between the world's largest nuclear weapon ...
