(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In the transportation sector, the current dependence on petroleum to satisfy large transportation fuel demand in the US is unsustainable. Oil resources are finite, and causing heavy US reliance on oil imports. Therefore, ...
-
(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, 2010)In order to significantly increase the power density of Light Water Reactors (LWRs), the helical-cruciform (HC) fuel rod assembly has been proposed as an alternative to traditional fuel geometry. The HC assembly is a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The economic advantages of longer fuel cycle, improved fuel utilization and reduced spent fuel storage have been driving the nuclear industry to pursue higher discharge burnup of Light Water Reactor (LWR) fuel. A design ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)To increase the power density and maximum allowable fuel burnup in light water reactors, new fuel rod designs are investigated. Such fuel is desirable for improving the economic performance light water reactors loaded with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In the confectionery industry, there is considerable interest in understanding the mechanisms of liquid lipid migration inside chocolates as it relates to combating fat-bloom defects in confectionery products. [1] This ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)An investigation into the properties and performance of a novel silicon carbide-based fuel rod cladding under PWR conditions was conducted. The novel design is a triplex, with the inner and outermost layers consisting of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)PURPOSE: Prompt gamma rays emitted from proton-nucleus interactions in tissue present a promising non-invasive, in situ means of monitoring proton beam based radiotherapy. This study investigates the fluence and energy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The future viability of nuclear power will depend on the long-term availability of uranium. A two-form uranium supply model was used to estimate the date at which peak production will occur. The model assumes a constant ...
