A Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Cycle for Next Generation Nuclear Reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2004-03)
A systematic, detailed major component and system design evaluation and multiple-parameter optimization under practical constraints has been performed of the family of supercritical CO[subscript 2] Brayton power cycles for ...
Modular Pebble Bed Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2000-07)
This project is developing a fundamental conceptual design for a gas-cooled, modular,
pebble bed reactor. Key technology areas associated with this design are being
investigated which intend to address issues concerning ...
Hydrogen Production for Steam Electrolysis Using a Supercritical CO[subscript 2]- Cooled Fast Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2007-02-01)
Rising natural gas prices and growing concern over CO[subscript 2] emissions have intensified interest in alternative
methods for producing hydrogen. Nuclear energy can be used to produce hydrogen through
thermochemical ...
A Systematic Study of Moderation Effects On Neutronic Performance of UO[subscript 2] Fueled Lattices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2001-05)
This report addresses the physics of reactor cores that can be operated for 10 to 15
years without refueling — inspired by the objective of enhanced nuclear fuel cycle
performance with regard to economics and resistance ...
Conceptual Reactor Physics Design of a Lead-Bismuth-Cooled Critical Actinide Burner
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2000-02)
Destruction of actinides in accelerator-driven subcriticals and in stand-alone critical reactors
is of contemporary interest as a means to reduce long-term high-level waste radiotoxicity. This
topical report is focused ...
