(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This is a study of fault detection for nuclear reactor systems. Basic concepts are derived from fundamental theories on system observers. Different types of fault- actuator fault, sensor fault, and system dynamics fault ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A problem with high-field MRI is the lack of B1 homogeneity, particularly signal cancellation in the outer parts of the head. Here we attempt to correct this by adding surface coils. To adjust the mutual coupling, we vary ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Disposal of post-irradiation fuel from nuclear reactors has been an issue for the nuclear industry for many years. Most countries currently have no long-term disposal strategy in place. Therefore, the concept of an ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Quantification of human error probabilities (HEPs) for the purpose of human reliability assessment (HRA) is very complex. Because of this complexity, the state of the art includes a variety of HRA models, each with its own ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The nuclear industry has relied on the concept of Defense in Depth (DID) and traditional safety margins to deal with the uncertainties associated with the design and operation of nuclear facilities. These concepts were ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Recently, MIT's Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems developed a new high burnup annular fuel that features both internal and external cooling. Implementation of this fuel design in current pressurized water reactors ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)A future, robust energy portfolio will include, together with fossil fuel technologies and nuclear systems, a mix of renewable energy systems. Within each type of system there will also be variants used to strengthen a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The thesis investigates the potential of fertile free fast lead-cooled modular reactors as efficient incinerators of plutonium and minor actinides (MAs) for application to dedicated fuel cycles for transmutation. A methodology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A heterogeneous LWR core design, which employs a thorium/uranium once through fuel cycle, is optimized for good economics, wide safety margins, minimal waste burden and high proliferation resistance. The focus is on the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis contributes to the Hydride Fuels Project, a collaborative effort between UC Berkeley and MIT aimed at investigating the potential benefits of hydride fuel use in light water reactors (LWRs). This pursuit involves ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Spurred by the renewed interest in nuclear power, Gas-cooled Fast Reactors (GFRs) have received increasing attention in the past decade. Motivated by the goals of the Generation-IV International Forum (GIF), a GFR cooled ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The Department of Energy recently submitted a license application for the Yucca Mountain repository to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, yet even the most optimistic timetable projects that the repository will not now ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Hydrogenic resonance line radiation interacts with the high-density low-temperature plasma at the tokamak edge. As a result, there exists a significant nonlocal plasma energy transport channel, local atomic level populations ...
