    • Risk impact of maintenance program changes 

      Credit, Kimberly A. (Kimberly April); Ouyang, Meng; Siu, N. O. (Nathan O.) (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1992], 1992)
      This study quantifies the change in one measure of plant risk, the frequency of loss of long-term decay heat removal, due to changes in maintenance at the James A. Fitzpatrick (JAF) plant. Quantification is accomplished ...

    • Modeling control room crews for accident sequence analysis 

      Huang, Y. (Yuhao); Siu, N. O. (Nathan O.); Lanning, David D.; Carroll, John S., 1948-; Dang, Vinh Ngoc (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1991], 1991)
      This report describes a systems-based operating crew model designed to simulate the behavior of an nuclear power plant control room crew during an accident scenario. This model can lead to an improved treatment of potential ...

    • An experiment to simulate the heat transfer properties of a dry, horizontal spent nuclear fuel assembly 

      Lovett, Phyllis Maria; Todreas, Neil E. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1991], 1991)
      Nuclear power reactors generate highly radioactive spent fuel assemblies. Initially, the spent fuel assemblies are stored for a period of several years in an on-site storage facility to allow the radioactivity levels of ...
