An evaluation of the fast-mixed spectrum reactor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1980], 1980)
An independent evaluation of the neutronic characteristics of a gas-cooled fast-mixed spectrum reactor (FMSR) core design has been performed. A benchmark core configuration for an early FMSR design was provided by Brookhaven ...
M.I.T. LMFBR Blanket Physics Project : final summary report
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1983], 1983)
This is a final summary report on an experimental and analytical program for the investigation of LMFBR blanket characteristics carried out at M.I. T. in the period 1969-1983. During this span of time, work was carried out ...
Systems studies on the extraction of uranium from seawater
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
This report summarizes the work done at MIT during FY 1981 on the overall system design of a uranium-from-seawater facility. It consists of a sequence of seven major chapters, each of which was originally prepared as a ...
Nuclear power plant design innovation for the 1990s : a preliminary assessment
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983, 1983)
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 ...
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, ...
Design of a high-level waste repository system for the United States
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988, 1988)
This report presents a conceptual design for a High Level Waste disposal system for fuel discharged by U.S. commercial power reactors, using the Yucca Mountain repository site recently designated by federal legislation. ...
