(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Performance assessments (PAs) are important sources of information for societal decisions in high-level radioactive waste (HLW) management, particularly in evaluating safety cases for proposed HLW repository development. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Plasma toroidal rotation is a factor important for plasma stability and transport, but it is still a fairly poorly understood area of physics. This thesis focuses on three aspects of rotation: momentum transport, Ohmic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The increase in plasma performance associated with turbulence suppression via flow shear in magnetically confined fusion plasmas has been well documented. Currently, the standard methods for both generating and measuring ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Safety culture refers to the attitudes, behaviors, and conditions that affect safety performance and often arises in discussions following incidents at nuclear power plants. As it involves both operational and management ...

Scattering properties of polyacrylamide gels and their relation to protein electrophoretic migration (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Error correction codes are necessary for the development of reliable quantum computers. Such codes can prevent the lost of information from decoherence caused by external perturbations. This thesis evaluates a five qubit ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We developed a unique methodology to selectively irradiate the vascular endothelium in vivo to better understand the role of vascular damage in causing normal tissue radiation side-effects.The relationship between vascular ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)With growing demands for commercial nuclear power, there is also a growing need for better energy efficiency from nuclear power reactors. In order to reach a high burnup up to 100 MWd/kg, previous research has examined the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)For decades, nuclear energy development was based on the expectation that recycling of the fissionable materials in the used fuel from today's light water reactors into advanced (fast) reactors would be implemented as soon ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Comparing different nuclear fuel cycles and assessing their implications require a fuel cycle simulation model as complete and realistic as possible. In this thesis, methodological implications of modeling choices are ...
