Feasibility Investigations for Risk-Based Nuclear Safety Regulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Systems Enhanced Performance Program, 2001-02)
ATTRIBUTES OF A NUCLEAR-ASSISTED GAS TURBINE POWER CYCLE
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2005-02-01)
By using a combination of a nuclear reactor, which emits no carbon dioxide, and a high efficiency
natural gas turbine combined cycle (NGCC), electric utilities can reduce their generation cost as
well as minimize the ...
OPTIMIZATION OF THE HYBRID SULFUR CYCLE FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2005-05-01)
The hybrid sulfur cycle (modified from the Westinghouse Cycle) for decomposing water into
oxygen and hydrogen is evaluated. Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of sulfur dioxide and
water mixture at low temperature, ...
Conceptual Design of Molten Salt Loop Experiment for MIT Research Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. MIT Reactor Redesign Program, 2011-08-01)
Molten salt is a promising coolant candidate for Advanced High Temperature Reactor (AHTR) Gen-IV designs. The low neutron absorption, high thermal capacity, chemical inertness, and high boiling point at low pressure of ...
FUEL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF EXTENDED OPERATING CYCLES IN EXISTING LWRs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 1998-01)
An integral part of a technical analysis of a core design, fuel performance is
especially important for extended operating cycles since the consequences of failed fuel
are greater for this operating strategy than for ...
ON THE USE OF THORIUM IN LIGHT WATER REACTORS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 1999-04)
The advantages and disadvantages of the use of thorium bearing fuel in light water
reactors have been examined several times from the beginning of the nuclear energy era
until the late seventies. The recent motivation ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2003-08)
The overall objective of this NERI project is to examine the potential for a high performance advanced fuel design for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), which would accommodate a substantial increase of core power density ...
High Performance Fuel Design for Next Generation PWRs: 11th Quarterly Report
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2004-07)
I. Technical Narrative: The overall objective of this NERI project is to examine the potential for a high performance advanced fuel for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), which would accommodate a substantial increase of ...
Nuclear Energy Options for Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Based Liquid Fuels Production
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2003-09)
Nuclear energy can be used for hydrogen production through thermochemical or
electrochemical processes for splitting water (and/or steam) into its elemental parts. The
overall performance of alternative routes for using ...
