TL;DR: Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Science and Engineering, 2006.
Quantitative Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (QPIRT) for Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a Quantitative Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (QPIRT) for the propagation of parameter uncertainty for a nuclear reactor system code, which consists of two steps: a top-down step focusing on identifying the dominant physical phenomena controlling the system response, and a bottom-up step which focuses on determining the correlations from those key physical phenomena that significantly contribute to the response uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen-16 Generation and Transport and Associated Shielding Requirements in a Supercritical-Water–Cooled Reactor
TL;DR: As a water-cooled nuclear system with a direct thermal cycle, the supercritical-water -cooled reactor (SCWR) shares with the boiling water reactor (BWR) the issue of coolant activation and transport as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design Strategies for Lead-Alloy-Cooled Reactors for Actinide Burning and Low-Cost Electricity Production
Pavel Hejzlar,Neil E. Todreas,Michael J. Driscoll,Philip E. MacDonald,Jacopo Buongiorno,Kevan D. Weaver +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a design of a lead-bismuth-cooled fast critical nuclear power plant with a supercritical carbon dioxide power conversion cycle that achieves thermal efficiencies up to 45% at a core outlet temperature of 550°C.
