    • The effect of reactor size on the breeding economics of LMFBR blankets 

      Tagishi, Akinori; Driscoll, Michael J. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1975], 1975)
      The effect of reactor size on the neutronic and economic performance of LMFBR blankets driven by radially-power-flattened cores has been investigated using both simple models and state-of-the-art computer methods. Reactor ...

    • An analysis of plutonium recycle fuel elements in San Onofre-1 

      Momsen, Bruce William Foster; Lanning, David D.; Pilat, E. E., 1937- (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1974], 1974)
      A method has been developed to allow independent assessment of the use of plutonium recycle assemblies in operating reactors. This method utilizes Generalized Mixed Number Density (GMND) cross sections (based on Breen's ...

    • An experimental investigation of acoustic cavitation as a fragmentation mechanism of molten tin droplets in water 

      Bjørnard, Trond Arnold (Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)
      A series of experiments were performed where single molten tin droplets of known size, shape and temperature were dropped from a low height into a pool of distilled water. The pressure waves emanating from the hot droplets ...
