Design and Optimization of a High Thermal Flux Research Reactor Via Kriging-Based Algorithm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. MIT Reactor Redesign Program, 2011-06-01)In response to increasing demands for the services of research reactors, a 5 MW LEUfueled research reactor core is developed and optimized to provide high thermal flux within specified limits upon thermal hydraulic ... -
Estimate of Radiation Release from MIT Reactor with Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) Core During Maximum Hypothetical Accident
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. MIT Reactor Redesign Program, 2011-06-01)In accordance with a 1986 NRC ruling, the MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is planning on converting from the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) for fuel. A component of the conversion analysis ... -
Developing Fuel Management Capabilities Based On Coupled Monte Carlo Depletion in Support of the MIT Research Reactor Conversion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. MIT Reactor Redesign Program, 2009-06-01)Pursuant to a 1986 NRC ruling, the MIT Reactor (MITR) is planning on converting from the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) for fuel. Prior studies have shown that the MITR will be able ...
