Establishing isokinetic flow for a plasma torch exhaust gas diagnostic for a plasma hearth furnace (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In accordance with a 1986 NRC ruling, the MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is planning on converting from the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) for fuel. A component of the conversion analysis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The goal of this thesis is to upgrade the scientific capabilities of the 24" Cassegrain reflector telescope at the George R. Wallace, Jr. Astrophysical Observatory (Wallace Observatory), part of Massachusetts Institute of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The deployment of fuel recycling through either CONFU (COmbined Non-Fertile and UO2 fuel) thermal watercooled reactors (LWRs) or fast ABR (Actinide Burner Reactor) reactors is compared to the Once-Through LWR reactor system ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A supercritical ethane working fluid Brayton power conversion system is evaluated as an alternative to carbon dioxide. The HSC® chemical kinetics code was used to study thermal dissociation and chemical interactions for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Compared to the traditional solid fuel geometry for PWRs, the internally and externally cooled annular fuel offers the potential to increase the core power density while maintaining or increasing safety margins. It is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission is responsible for the safe operation of the United States nuclear power plant fleet, and human reliability analysis forms an important portion of the probabilistic risk ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Deep boreholes, 3 to 5 km into igneous rock, such as granite, are evaluated for next- generation repository use in the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste. The primary focus is on the stability and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The danger of high, acute doses of radiation is well documented, but the effects of low-dose radiation below 100 mSv is still heavily debated. Four theories concerning the effects of lowdose radiation are presented here: ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is in the process of conducting a design study to convert from High Enrichment Uranium (HEU) fuel to Low Enrichment Uranium (LEU) fuel. The currently selected LEU fuel design contains 18 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)An evolutionary BWR fuel assembly design was studied as a means to increase the power density of current and future BWR cores. The new assembly concept is based on replacing four traditional assemblies and large water gap ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013).The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons creates a loophole that allows a non-nuclear-weapon country to avoid international safeguards governing fissile materials if it claims that the materials will be used ...
