(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Passive cooling via natural circulation of gas after a loss of coolant (LOCA) accident is one of the major goals of the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR). Due to its high surface heat flux and low coolant velocities under ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)A new theoretical framework is introduced, the "neutron excess" concept, which is useful for analyzing breed-and-burn (B&B) reactors and their fuel cycles. Based on this concept, a set of methods has been developed which ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This research, funded by the Department of Energy's Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative Fellowship, was focused on developing a new approach to studying the nuclear fuel cycle: instead of using the trial and error approach ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, we investigate the potential role played by large-scale anomalous heat sources (e.g. prolonged heat wave events) in generating acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs) that might trigger widespread plasma turbulence ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)An accurate outlook on long-term uranium resources is critical in forecasting uranium costresource relationships, and for energy policy planning as regards the development and deployment of nuclear fuel cycle alternatives. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis presents the development and analysis of a deterministic optimization scheme termed Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swap for the optimization of nuclear reactor core loading patterns. The goal of this optimization ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)We attempted to measure the anisotropy in the electron distribution function in magnetized plasma by exploiting the adiabatic invariance of the electron's magnetic moment with a probe comprising a grid, a collector, and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The effect of collisionality on a new nonlinear upshift of the critical density gradient for onset of Trapped Electron Mode (TEM) turbulence is investigated in detail. Both linear and nonlinear, high resolution simulations ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Welded stainless steel piping is a component of boiling water reactors (BWRs). Reirculation and other large diameter piping are fabricated from Type 304 or 316 stainless steels. Delta ferrite is present in welds, because ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Nuclear oil well logging tools utilizing radioisotope sources of photons are used ubiquitously in oilfields throughout the world. Because of safety and security concerns, there is renewed interest in shifting to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This project represents an attempt to model the propagation of microwaves into Alcator C-Mod's plasma in high fidelity and with a reduced number of degrees of freedom. The success of this endeavor would accelerate progress ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis presents the theory, design, and experimental demonstration of coherent microwave generation at 2.4 GHz in a metamaterial loaded waveguide using a 490 keV, 84 A, one microsecond pulse length electron beam that ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The production of clinically sufficient dose rates in Accelerator-based Neutron Capture Therapies (ABNCT) requires targets that can withstand ion beams of 2-10 kW or higher. Designing such a target requires knowledge of ...
