Instrumental methods for neutron spectroscopy in the MIT blanket test facility
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1972], 1972)
U.S. Atomic Energy Commission contract
Use of gamma spectroscopy for neutronic analysis of LMFBR Blankets
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [], )
It was the purpose of the present investigation to extend and apply Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy to the study of fast reactor blankets. The focal point for this research was the Blanket Test Facility at the MITR and Blanket ...
Evaluation of the parfait blanket concept for fast breeder reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1974], 1974)
An evaluation of the neutronic, thermal-hydraulic, mechanical and economic characteristics of fast breeder reactor configurations containing an internal blanket has been performed. This design, called the parfait blanket ...
A core reload pattern and composition optimization methodology for pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1985], 1985)
The primary objective of this research was the development of a comprehensive, rapid and conceptually simple methodology for PWR core reload pattern and fuel composition optimization, capable of systematic incorporation ...
Heterogeneous effects in fast breeder reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1973], 1973)
Heterogeneous effects in fast breeder reactors are examined through development of simple but accurate models for the calculation of a posteriori corrections to a volume-averaged homogeneous representation. Three distinct ...
The Use of experiments on a single fuel element to determine the nuclear parameters of reactor lattices
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1967], 1967)
The nuclear parameters of a reactor lattice may be determined by critical experiments on that lattice, by theoretical calculations in which only cross sections are used as input, or by methods which combine theory and ...
Final report on improved uranium utilization in PWRs
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)
This is the final summary progress report on a research program carried out within the MIT Energy Laboratory/Nuclear Engineering Department under the US Department of Energy's program to increase the effectiveness of uranium ...
Optimization of the axial power shape in pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
Analytical and numerical methods have been applied to find the optimum axial power profile in a PWR with respect to uranium utilization. The preferred shape was found to have a large central region of uniform power density, ...
Heavy Water Lattice Project final report
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Nuclear Engineering, 1967, 1967)
Design, construction and evaluation of a facility for the simulation of fast reactor blankets
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1970], 1970)
A facility has been designed and constructed at the MIT Reactor for the experimental investigation of typical LMFBR breeding blankets. A large converter assembly, consisting of a 20-cm-thick layer of graphite followed by ...
