Economics of nuclear fuel cycles : option valuation and neutronics simulation of mixed oxide fuels (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In most studies aiming at the economic assessment of nuclear fuel cycles, a primary concern is to keep scenarios economically comparable. For Uranium Oxide (UOX) and Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuels, a traditional way to achieve ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)It is commonly accepted that ExB velocity shear is responsible for the suppression of edge turbulence, which reduces the losses of both energy and particles across magnetic field lines and results in the formation of edge ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Edge transport barriers (ETBs) in tokamak plasmas accompany transitions from low confinement (L-mode) to high confinement (H-mode) and exhibit large density and temperature gradients in a narrow pedestal region near the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The objective of this work was to measure the effective thermal conductivity of a number of materials (particle beds, and fluids) proposed for use in and around canisters for disposal of high level nuclear waste in deep ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Based on extracellular field recordings and stimulations at the Schaeffer collateral-CA1 synapse, the synaptic tagging and capture (STC) model has hypothesized that at synapses that express any form of LTP and LTD (long-term ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An experimental study was performed to determine thermal performance and adhesion effects of a combined nanoparticle and polymeric dispersion coating. The critical heat flux (CHF) values and nucleate boiling heat transfer ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The goals of this research were to determine: 1) the effect of continuous irradiation on Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, CHO-K1 (wild type) and xrs-6 cells (mutant), and 2) the effect of continuous irradiation under low (5%) ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The effect of sulfur on the corrosion fatigue crack growth of austenitic stainless steel was evaluated under Light Water Reactor (LWR) conditions of 288°C deaerated (less than 5ppb O₂) water, to shed light on the accelerating ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The primary objective of this thesis was to validate the sustained counter air diffusion (SCAD) method at preventing natural circulation onset in diffusion dominated air ingress accidents. The analysis presented in this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In most tokamak fusion reactor designs, ICRF (Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies) and LH (Lower Hybrid) radio frequency (RF) waves used to heat the plasma and drive current are launched from the low-field, outboard side ...
