Modular Pebble Bed Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2000-07)
This project is developing a fundamental conceptual design for a gas-cooled, modular,
pebble bed reactor. Key technology areas associated with this design are being
investigated which intend to address issues concerning ...
Design of a Functionally Graded Composite for Service in High Temperature Lead and Lead-Bismuth Cooled Nuclear Reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2010-10)
A material that resists lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) attack and retains its strength at 700°C
would be an enabling technology for LBE-cooled reactors. No single alloy currently exists
that can economically meet the required ...
