The effects of the depletion and buildup of fissile nuclides and of ²³⁸U fast fissions on fission product decay power

Creator:

Trapp, Turner Japhet

Dissertation
An integral transport theory boundary condition applied to close-packed lattice cells with investigations into a heuristic flux convergence method

Creator:

Sterbentz, James W.

Abstract:

Spatial flux profiles were calculated in idealized, optically-thin ( 1 mfp) cell systems using integral transport theory. Numerical accuracy improvement and convergence efficiency in computing these spatial flux profiles was the primary concern. Toward these ends, kernel volume-averaging techniques for curvilinear cell systems, a reflective angular-dependent edge source boundary condition...

Dissertation
A methodology for safeguards evaluation and its application to mixed oxide fuel fabrication

Creator:

Azarfar, Mohammad Ali

Abstract:

This study focuses on the development of a methodology to evaluate safeguardability of various processes in the nuclear fuel cycle. National and international implementation of safeguards systems has been investigated. It was concluded that proliferation is purely a political question that, hopefully, can be prevented by international norms and diplomacy;...
