Reliability quantification of nuclear safety-related software
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The objective of this study is to improve quality and reliability of safety-critical software in the nuclear industry. It is accomplished by focusing on the following two areas: Formulation of a standard extensive integrated ...
Fertile free fuels for plutonium and minor actinides burning in LWRs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The feasibility of using various uranium-free fuels for plutonium incineration in present light water reactors is investigated. Two major categories of inert matrix fuels are studied: composite ceramic fuel particles ...
Computer simulation and topological modeling of radiation effects in zircon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The purpose of this study is to understand on atomic level the structural response of zircon (ZrSiO4) to irradiation using molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations, and to develop topological models that can describe ...
