Monte Carlo simulation of neutron shielding for proton therapy facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)A study was performed to develop a Monte Carlo method of modeling neutron shielding of proton therapy facilities in a complex, realistic environment. The bulk neutron shielding of the Northeast Proton Therapy Center ... -
Analysis of the proliferation resistance of the modular pebble bed high temperature gas reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The Modular Pebble Bed High Temperature Gas Reactor (MPBR) being designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory operates with an online refueling system. ... -
Monte Carlo study of pebble bed reactor fuel reactivity and isotopics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis sets the groundwork for a numerical benchmark of the VSOP code suite, which has the potential of being an integral part of the design and licensing of future modular high temperature gas reactor designs. The ... -
United States and France : a regulatory perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Nuclear materials and their uses are regulated differently in countries around the world. In the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates the different commercial and academic uses of nuclear technology, ... -
Safety culture in the nuclear power industry : attributes for regulatory assessment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Safety culture refers to the attitudes, behaviors, and conditions that affect safety performance and often arises in discussions following incidents at nuclear power plants. As it involves both operational and management ... -
Radiation and litigation : analyses of the ALARA principle and low dose radiation in the courts, and the future of radiation in court cases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Currently there are a growing number of radiation workers. In order to ensure the safety of the employees, regulations have been established by the federal government and state governments to limit the dose equivalent to ... -
Dosimetry of ¹²⁵Iodine protons for in vivo mouse irradiation study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The biological effects of acute, high doses of radiation are well understood. However, the effects of chronic, low doses are not as clear. Mice irradiation experiments to study the correlation of biological effects with ... -
Analysis of in-core experiment activities for the MIT Research Reactor using the ORIGEN computer code
(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 ... -
Gyrokinetic simulations of the nonlinear upshift of the critical density gradient for TEM turbulence in tokamak fusion plasmas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The effect of collisionality on a new nonlinear upshift of the critical density gradient for onset of Trapped Electron Mode (TEM) turbulence is investigated in detail. Both linear and nonlinear, high resolution simulations ... -
Development and application of a steady state code for supercritical carbon dioxide cycles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The supercritical CO2 power conversion system is of interest for advanced nuclear reactor applications because the same efficiencies are obtained as for the most developed of the closed gas-turbine cycles (helium-Brayton), ... -
Conceptual design of nuclear systems for hydrogen production
(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 ... -
Off-resonance and detuned surface coils for B₁ inhomogeneity in 7-Tesla MRI
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A problem with high-field MRI is the lack of B1 homogeneity, particularly signal cancellation in the outer parts of the head. Here we attempt to correct this by adding surface coils. To adjust the mutual coupling, we vary ...
