Simulation of the nuclear fuel cycle with recycling : options and outcomes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
A system dynamics simulation technique is applied to generate a new version of the CAFCA code to study the mass flow in the nuclear fuel cycle, and the impact of different options for advanced reactors and fuel recycling ...
Economics of nuclear fuel cycles : option valuation and neutronics simulation of mixed oxide fuels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In most studies aiming at the economic assessment of nuclear fuel cycles, a primary concern is to keep scenarios economically comparable. For Uranium Oxide (UOX) and Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuels, a traditional way to achieve ...
Risk-informed public safety policy for seismic events in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) are potentially vulnerable to accidents, which can either be internally or externally initiated. External events include natural events like tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The purpose ...
