    • ON THE USE OF THORIUM IN LIGHT WATER REACTORS 

      Kazimi, Mujid S.; Czerwinski, Kenneth R.; Driscoll, Michael J.; Hejzla, P.; Meyer, J. E. (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 ...

    • FUEL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF EXTENDED OPERATING CYCLES IN EXISTING LWRs 

      Handwerk, C. S.; Meyer, J. E.; Todreas, Neil E. (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 ...

    • An Alternative to Gasoline: Synthetic Fuels from Nuclear Hydrogen and Captured CO[subscript 2] 

      Middleton, B. D.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2007-04-01)
      The motivation for this study stems from two concerns. The first is that carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion is the largest single human contribution to global warming. The use of nuclear power to produce hydrogen ...
