    • Analysis of mixing data relevant to wire wrapped fuel assembly thermal-hydraulic design 

      Ḵẖāṉ, Ahsānullāh; Todreas, Neil E.; Rohsenow, Warren M.; Sonin, A. A. (Cambridge, Mass. : Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology [1974], 1974)
      In this report analysis of recent experimental data is presented using the ENERGY code. A comparison of the accuracy of three types of experiments is also presented along with a discussion of uncertainties in utilizing ...

    • The effect of reactor size on the breeding economics of LMFBR blankets 

      Tagishi, Akinori; Driscoll, Michael J. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1975], 1975)
      The effect of reactor size on the neutronic and economic performance of LMFBR blankets driven by radially-power-flattened cores has been investigated using both simple models and state-of-the-art computer methods. Reactor ...

    • Evaluation of the parfait blanket concept for fast breeder reactors 

      Ducat, Glenn Alexander; Driscoll, Michael J.; Todreas, Neil E. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1974], 1974)
      An evaluation of the neutronic, thermal-hydraulic, mechanical and economic characteristics of fast breeder reactor configurations containing an internal blanket has been performed. This design, called the parfait blanket ...

    • Gamma heating measurements in fast breeder reactor blankets 

      Scheinert, Paul Albert; Driscoll Michael J. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 1974, 1974)

    • Instrumental methods for neutron spectroscopy in the MIT blanket test facility 

      Ortiz, Nestor Ruben; Rickard, I. C. Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Driscoll, Michael J.; Rasmussen, Norman C. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1972], 1972)
      U.S. Atomic Energy Commission contract

    • Use of gamma spectroscopy for neutronic analysis of LMFBR Blankets 

      Kang, Chʻang-sun; Rasmussen, Norman C.; Driscoll, Michael J. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [], )
      It was the purpose of the present investigation to extend and apply Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy to the study of fast reactor blankets. The focal point for this research was the Blanket Test Facility at the MITR and Blanket ...
