(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In order to improve a new design for a uranium startup sodium cooled fast reactor which was proposed at MIT, this thesis evaluated radial power flattening by varying the fuel volume fraction at a fixed U-235 enrichment of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Currently there are a growing number of radiation workers. In order to ensure the safety of the employees, regulations have been established by the federal government and state governments to limit the dose equivalent to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Selective vascular irradiation enables the critical examination of the vasculature and its role in the onset of late radiation effects. It is a novel approach to expose the endothelial cells to much higher levels of ionizing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Since Enrico Fermi first discovered that neutrons could split atoms in 1934, peaceful and militaristic uses of nuclear energy have become prevalent in our society. Two case studies, Three Mile Island and the Nevada Test ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis evaluates the radiobiological effectiveness of three new boron compounds namely a boronated porphyrin (BOPP) and two liposome formulations for neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The methodology utilizes in vitro ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary cancer radiation therapy that utilizes biochemical tumor cell targeting and provides a mixed field of high and low Linear Energy Transfer (LET) radiation with differing ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Silicon carbide (SiC) offers several advantages over zirconium (Zr)-based alloys as a potential cladding material for Pressurized Water Reactors: very slow corrosion rate, ability to withstand much higher temperature with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Gas-Cooled Fast Reactors (GFRs) are among the GEN-IV designs proposed for future deployment. Driven by anticipated plant cost reduction, the use of supercritical CO₂ (S-CO₂) as a Brayton cycle working fluid in a direct ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Historically, unprotected transients have been viewed as design basis events that can significantly challenge sodium-cooled fast reactors. The perceived potential consequences of a severe unprotected transient in a ...
