Analysis of strategies for improving uranium utilization in pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
Systematic procedures have been devised and applied to evaluate core design and fuel management strategies for improving uranium utilization in Pressurized Water Reactors operated on a once-through fuel cycle. A principal ...
An evaluation of the fast-mixed spectrum reactor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1980], 1980)
An independent evaluation of the neutronic characteristics of a gas-cooled fast-mixed spectrum reactor (FMSR) core design has been performed. A benchmark core configuration for an early FMSR design was provided by Brookhaven ...
Modeling of fuel-to-steel heat transfer in core disruptive accidents
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1980], 1980)
A mathematical model for direct-contact boiling heat transfer between immiscible fluids was developed and tested experimentally. The model describes heat transfer from a hot fluid bath to an ensemble of droplets of a cooler ...
M.I.T. LMFBR Blanket Physics Project : final summary report
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1983], 1983)
This is a final summary report on an experimental and analytical program for the investigation of LMFBR blanket characteristics carried out at M.I. T. in the period 1969-1983. During this span of time, work was carried out ...
The use of burnable poison to improve uranium utilization in PWRs
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)
A methodology based on the linear reactivity model of core behavior has been developed and employed to evaluate fuel management tactics for improving uranium utilization in Pressurized Water Reactors in a once-through fuel ...
An assessment of internal blankets for gas-cooled fast reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 1980, 1980)
The selective use of thorium and heterogeneity in uranium-efficient pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)
Systematic procedures have been developed and applied to assess the uranium utilization potential of a broad range of options involving the selective use of thorium in Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) operating on the ...
