Safety of light water reactor fuel with silicon carbide cladding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Structural aspects of the performance of light water reactor (LWR) fuel rod with triplex silicon carbide (SiC) cladding - an emerging option to replace the zirconium alloy cladding - are assessed. Its behavior under accident ... -
A SANS study of the interfacial curvatures and the phase behavior in bicontinuous microemulsions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Scalable approaches to the characterization of open quantum system dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)One of the biggest challenges in the physical realization of quantum information processing (QIP) is the precise control of the system. In order to achieve this, we characterize the gates, errors, and noise occurring in ... -
Selective irradiation of the vascular endothelium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We developed a unique methodology to selectively irradiate the vascular endothelium in vivo to better understand the role of vascular damage in causing normal tissue radiation side-effects.The relationship between vascular ... -
A semi-experimental nodal synthesis method for the on-line reconstruction of three-dimensional neutron flux-shapes and reactivity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Sensitivity analysis and optimization of the nuclear fuel cycle : a systematic approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)For decades, nuclear energy development was based on the expectation that recycling of the fissionable materials in the used fuel from today's light water reactors into advanced (fast) reactors would be implemented as soon ... -
Silver transport in CVD silicon carbide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Ion implantation and diffusion couple experiments were used to study silver transport through and release from CVD silicon carbide. Results of these experiments show that silver does not migrate via classical diffusion in ... -
A simple quadratic nodal model for hexagonal geometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
A simplified theory of neutron thermalization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Simulation of ionospheric plasma heating experiments in the versatile toroidal facility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Remote sensing techniques employed to diagnose ionospheric modification experiments are intrinsically ambiguous, uncorrelated with "ground truth." To overcome this limitation, laboratory experiments are performed in the ... -
Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering studies of 3-component microemulsion and micellar solution of semifluorinated copolymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Spatial distribution of the neutron flux on the surfaces of a graphite-lined cavity

Spatial homogenization methods for light water reactor analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Spontaneous brillouin scattering quench diagnostics for large superconducting magnets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Large superconducting magnets used in fusion reactors, as well as other applications, need a diagnostic that can non-invasively measure the temperature and strain throughout the magnet in real-time. A new fiber optic sensor ... -
Stability analysis of supercritical water cooled reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is a concept for an advanced reactor that will operate at high pressure (25MPa) and high temperature (500°C average core exit). The high coolant temperature as it leaves the ... -
Stability analysis of the boiling water reactor : methods and advanced designs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Density Wave Oscillations (DWOs) are known to be possible when a coolant undergoes considerable density reduction while passing through a heated channel. In the development of boiling water reactors (BWRs), there has been ... -
Stabilization of carbon emissions : a viable option for the Republic of Korea?
