    • Stability Analysis of Supercritical Water Cooled Reactors 

      Zhao, J.; Saha, P.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2005-09)
      The Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is a concept for an advanced reactor that will operate at high pressure (25MPa) and high temperature (500ºC average core exit). The high coolant temperature as it leaves the ...

    • Using Risk-Based Regulations for Licensing Nuclear Power Plants: Case Study of the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor 

      Jourdan, G.; Golay, M. W. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2005-12)
      The strategy adopted for national energy supply is one of the most important policy choice for the US. Although it has been dismissed in the past decades, nuclear power today has key assets when facing concerns on energy ...

    • Analysis Of Flow Instabilities In Supercritical Watercooled Nuclear Reactors 

      Zhao, J.; Saha, P.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2004-09)
      Near the supercritical thermodynamic point, coolant density is very sensitive to temperature which gives potential to several instabilities in the supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactors. The flow stability features ...
