  • Radial power flattening in sodium fast reactors 
    Krentz-Wee, Rebecca (Rebecca Elizabeth) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    In order to improve a new design for a uranium startup sodium cooled fast reactor which was proposed at MIT, this thesis evaluated radial power flattening by varying the fuel volume fraction at a fixed U-235 enrichment of ...
  • Investigation into Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swaps (GEDBS) for the optimization of core configuration in pressurized water reactors 
    Hammond, Jessica L (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    In order to promote nuclear power production as an attractive option for power generation, measures must be taken to ensure that the process is both safe and economical. One aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle that contributes ...
  • Critical assessment of thorium reactor technology 
    Drenkhahn, Robert (Robert A.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Thorium-based fuels for nuclear reactors are being considered for use with current and future designs in both large and small-scale energy production. Thorium-232 is as abundant on Earth as lead, far more common than all ...
  • An evaluation of theories concerning the health effects of low-dose radiation exposures 
    Wei, Elizabeth J. (Elizabeth Jay) (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: ...
  • Manpower development for new nuclear energy programs 
    Verma, Aditi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    In the spring of 2012, nine countries were seriously considering embarking on nuclear energy programs, either having signed contracts with reactor vendors or having made investments for the development of infrastructure ...
