Creator:: McIntire, Matthew G.
Abstract:: In order to more effectively design large, complex systems, risk must be accounted for throughout the design process. A systematic way to account for risk is by using system model simulation. During the conceptual design phase, functional models can be drawn to help the engineer design their system's functional architecture....

Creator:: Sui, Yueh Chun
Abstract:: This study addresses the application of a full reactor system computer code to simulate the reactor primary and secondary loop thermal hydraulics, plant control and protection systems during the steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) events. The Trojan nuclear plant which is owned and operated by the Portland General Electric (PGE)...

Creator:: Kriett, Phillip Oliver
Abstract:: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Fleet Services manages a fleet that in 2008 included approximately 5,000 pieces of active equipment worth $340–$390 million. Every biennium, a fixed budget is available to replace a certain amount of this equipment. This research evaluated various measures for establishing equipment replacement priorities. A model...

Creator:: Hallee, Brian Todd
Abstract:: The nuclear industry has long relied upon bounding parametric analyses in predicting the safety margins of reactor designs undergoing design-basis accidents. These methods have been known to return highly-conservative results, limiting the operating conditions of the reactor. The Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) method using a modernized version of the Code-Scaling,...

Creator:: Cox, Jordan
Abstract:: The United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the pebble-bed reactor as a high priority for US research with the end goal of licensing a pebble-bed reactor (PBR) for operation in the United States. Before this can be accomplished significant research must be done regarding the safety of...
