(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Sustainable nuclear energy will likely require fast reactors to complement the current light water reactor paradigm. In particular, breed-and-burn sodium fast reactors (SFRs) offer a unique combination of fuel cycle and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Plasma-material interactions (PMI) in magnetic fusion devices pose significant scientific and engineering challenges for the development of steady-state fusion power reactors. Understanding PMI is crucial for the develpment ...
