(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Computed tomography (CT) is a prominent procedure in the US with larger radiation doses than traditional radiology. CT is a powerful tool in the diagnosis of a wide variety of conditions and its use has grown quickly because ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The purpose of this study is to assess the difference between 4D liver dose calculations versus standard 3D treatment planning and to investigate the dosimetric gain of gating on radiation dose to normal tissue. 4DCT scans ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In high energy physics experiments, very high precision tracking of charged particles is needed. Solid state detectors achieve the high precision necessary to provide track and vertex reconstruction of the particles that ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The objective of this study is to devise a method for utilizing the ORIGEN-S computer code to calculate the activation products generated in in-core experimental assemblies at the MIT Research Reactor (MITR-II). ORIGEN-S ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)U.S. nuclear weapons force structure accounts for the number and types of strategic and nonstrategic weapon systems in various locations that comprise the nuclear arsenal. While exact numbers, locations, and detailed designs ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The proliferation resistance of a nuclear power plant has become an increasingly important issue due to the political climate of nuclear power at the present. Any new power plant that is constructed must be proliferation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In the transportation sector, the current dependence on petroleum to satisfy large transportation fuel demand in the US is unsustainable. Oil resources are finite, and causing heavy US reliance on oil imports. Therefore, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In the confectionery industry, there is considerable interest in understanding the mechanisms of liquid lipid migration inside chocolates as it relates to combating fat-bloom defects in confectionery products. [1] This ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The future viability of nuclear power will depend on the long-term availability of uranium. A two-form uranium supply model was used to estimate the date at which peak production will occur. The model assumes a constant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) research, passive detection systems are often required in several applications for observing fusion-product spectra from an ICF-capsule implosion. These detection devices can be calibrated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Large scale solar neutron and neutrino flux experiments require many tons of bulk liquid organic scintillator to take spectroscopic data of these energetic particles. However, material and chemical concerns make such ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)MicroPET imaging studies were conducted to investigate the role of metabotropic glutamate subtype-5 receptors (mGluR5) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Four analogical PET ligands were used to characterize modulation of mGluR5 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The subject of this thesis is devoted to a class of multiparticle entangled states known as the cluster-states. In particular, we focused on a system of four spins and studied the entanglement properties of a four-qubit ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Molecular dynamics simulations of the ceramic compound zirconolite (CaZrTi₂O₇), a potential crystalline wasteform host for plutonium, were carried out for ideal and experimental crystalline forms and a simulated molten ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Using recently collected data which was measured with state-of-the-art techniques, models for nucleation site density, bubble departure diameter, and nucleation frequency were compared against the acquired data. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA) reactors have the unique capability of generating high neutron flux environments with the removal of a transient control rod, creating conditions observed in fast fission ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Demand for hydrogen in the transportation energy sector is expected to keep growing in the coming decades; in the short term for refining heavy oils and in the long term for powering fuel cells. However, hydrogen cannot ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)As the increasing demand for nuclear energy results in larger spent fuel volume, implementation of longer fuel cycles incorporating higher burnup are becoming common. Understanding the effect of higher burnup on the spent ...
