(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The U.S. Department of Energy recently filed a motion to withdraw the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license application for the High Level Waste Repository at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. As the U.S. has focused exclusively ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)With the advent of new and innovative Generation-IV reactor designs, new regulations must be developed to assure the safety of these plants. In the past a purely deterministic way of developing design basis accidents was ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis analyzes the feasibility of emplacing DOE-owned defense nuclear waste from weapons production into a permanent borehole repository drilled ~4 km into granite basement rock. Two canister options were analyzed ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The feasibility of using various uranium-free fuels for plutonium incineration in present light water reactors is investigated. Two major categories of inert matrix fuels are studied: composite ceramic fuel particles ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The most prevalent criticism of fission-fusion hybrids is simply that they are too exotic - that they would exacerbate the challenges of both fission and fusion. This is not really true. Intriguingly, hybrids could actually ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)For decay heat removal systems in the conceptual Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) currently under development, passive emergency cooling using natural circulation of a gas at an elevated pressure is being considered. Since ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The limiting factor in current designs for fast reactors is not only the reactivity, but also the maximum permissible fast-neutron fluence in the cladding, especially for reduced uranium enrichment cores using high-albedo ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Introduction: Introduction: The world today contains an estimated 6.7 billion humans, and our population is growing at an unprecedented rate, consuming an ever-increasing amount of global resources. According to United ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)With the advancement of the next generation of nuclear fuel cycle facilities, concerns of the effectiveness of nuclear facility safeguards have been increasing due to the inclusion of highly enriched material and reprocessing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The MIT Nuclear Research Reactor (MITR) is the only research reactor in the United States that utilizes plate-type fuel elements with longitudinal fins to augment heat transfer. Recent studies on the conversion to low-enriched ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1964)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The accumulation of transuranic inventories in spent nuclear fuel depends on both deployment of advanced reactors that can be loaded with recycled transuranics (TRU), and on availability of the facilities that separate and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis focuses on several aspects of the Lower Hybrid (LH) wave physics, the common theme being the development of full-wave simulation codes based on Finite Element Methods (FEM) used in support of experiments carried ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The aim of this research project was to study the neural substrates involved in processing rewarding stimuli. Evaluation of the magnitudes of reward is one of the fundamental aspects of goal directed behavior, and studies ...
