Analysis and Utilization of Operating Experience for Organizational Learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Systems Enhanced Performance Program, 2001-06)
The objective of this report is to clarify the ways that organizational factors influence
nuclear power plant performance in order to improve performance. Therefore, this report
studied the nuclear power plant organizational ...
Development of a Bayesian Network to Monitor the Probability of Nuclear Proliferation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2010-04)
Nuclear Proliferation is a complex problem that has plagued national security strategists
since the advent of the first nuclear weapons. As the cost to produce nuclear weapons has
continued to decline and the availability ...

Cross Section Generation Strategy for High Conversion Light Water Reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2011-06)
High conversion water reactors (HCWR), such as the Resource-renewable Boiling Water Reactor
(RBWR), are being designed with axial heterogeneity of alternating fissile and blanket zones to
achieve a conversion ratio of ...
Use of Response Surface for Evaluation of Functional Failure of Passive Safety System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2010-03)
Passive safety systems are more vulnerable to their environment and initial condition due to
the typical low driving forces, e.g., that of the natural circulation. We investigate the merits
of different methods for ...
High Performance Fuel Design for Next Generation PWRs: Final Report
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2006-01)
This summary provides an overview of the results of the U.S. DOE funded NERI
(Nuclear Research Energy Initiative) program on development of the internally and
externally cooled annular fuel for high power density PWRs. ...
