    • Toward a theory of institutional analysis 

      Nutt-Powell, Thomas E. (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1978-04)
      This paper provides the basic analytic framework for institutional analysis with particular reference to the acceptance of innovations. A theory of institutions is developed, then assessed in light of various theories ...
    • Coal-fired open cycle magnetohydrodynamic power plant emissions and energy efficiences 

      Gruhl, Jim (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1977-11)
      This study is a review of projected emissions and energy efficiencies of coal-fired open cycle MHD power plants. Ideally one would like to develop empirically-based probabilistic models of MHD performance. However, with ...
    • Design and fuel management of PWR cores to optimize the once-through fuel cycle 

      Fujita, Edward Kei; Driscoll, Michael J.; Lanning, David D. (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 ...
