An evaluation of tight-pitch PWR cores
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-08)
The impact of tight pitch cores on the consumption of natural uranium
ore has been evaluated for two systems of coupled PWR's namely one particular
type of thorium system-U-235/U02: Pu/Th02: U-233/ThO2--and the ...
Optimization of the axial power shape in pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
Analytical and numerical methods have been applied to find the optimum axial power profile in a PWR with respect to uranium utilization. The preferred shape was found to have a large central region of uniform power density, ...
Steam bubble collapse, water hammer and piping network response
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, c1980, c1980)
Work on steam bubble collapse, water hammer and piping network response was carried out in two closely related but distinct sections. Volume I of ,,is report details the experiments and analyses carried out in conjunction ...
Sensitivity analysis of the reactor safety study
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-01)
The Reactor Safety Study (RSS) or Wash-1400 developed a
methodology estimating the public risk from light water nuclear
reactors. In order to give further insights into this study,
a sensitivity analysis has been ...
Design and fuel management of PWR cores to optimize the once-through fuel cycle
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1978-08)
The once-through fuel cycle has been analyzed to see if there are substantial prospects for improved uranium ore utilization in current
light water reactors, with a specific focus on pressurized water reactors.
The ...
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 ...
