    • PWR Transition to a Higher Power Core Using Annular Fuel 

      Beccherle, J.; Hejzlar, Pavel; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2007-09)
      The internally and externally cooled annular fuel is a new type of fuel for PWRs that enables an increase in core power density by 50% within the same or better safety margins as traditional solid fuel. Each annular fuel ...

    • Sensitivity of Economic Performance of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle to Simulation Modeling Assumptions 

      Bonnet, Nicephore; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2007-07)
      Comparing different nuclear fuel cycles and assessing their implications requires a fuel cycle simulation model as complete and realistic as possible. In this report, methodological implications of modeling choices are ...

    • AN EVOLUTIONARY FUEL ASSEMBLY DESIGN FOR HIGH POWER DENSITY BWRs 

      Karahan, A.; Buongiorno, Jacopo; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2007-07)
      An evolutionary BWR fuel assembly design was studied as a means to increase the power density of current and future BWR cores. The new assembly concept is based on replacing four traditional assemblies and large water ...
