Classification Modeling of Nuclear Power Plant Outage Severities with Complement Naïve Bayes and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers

Creator:: Castillo, Michael A.
Abstract:: Low-level nuclear power plant outages in the United States can lead to unanticipated costs, potentially compromising the expected operation lifetime of the plant. Nuclear power plants are complex systems of interfacing components and highly regulated processes. This inherent complexity makes predicting outages from system dependencies very challenging. When outages do...

Interpretive evolution of the Wilderness Act : the implications of change

Creator:: Klein, Jonathan Winthrop
Abstract:: Compromises required for the passage of the Wilderness Act (1964) created inherent conflicts in the designation and administration of wilderness areas. Subsequent legislation helped to more firmly interpret and define the Act. Attendant policy changes suggest a trend to increase the recreational and economic utility of wilderness. Policy changes also...

Concepts to consider in developing a microcomputer simulation model to promote understanding of linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country

Creator:: Ndzinge, Loftus O.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to discuss concepts and strategies that provide a general framework which can be used to develop a microcomputer simulation model for educating senior public officials on the linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country. Tradition has it that agriculture is preeminently...

Irradiation Capsule Development for Composite Fuels for Nuclear Thermal Propulsion

Creator:: Thody, Austin
Abstract:: Nuclear Thermal Rocket (NTR) designs have received renewed interest due to their superior thermal efficiencies and a rehabilitated desire for space exploration. This has resulted in improved NTR fuel designs that have unique properties that require investigation and testing in order to be more safely designed and operated. Oak Ridge...

Herbicide effects on Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus

Creator:: Wehr, Nancy Briggs
Abstract:: Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a small parasitic bacterium present in soil, mud, and aquatic habitats. Due to its lysis of Gramnegative bacteria, an important role in soil ecology has been suggested for this organism. A study of effects of herbicides upon Bdellovibrio might consequently be of considerable value. In this study...

Ultralight fabric reflux tube thermal vacuum testing

Creator:: Pauley, Keith Alan
Abstract:: Five Ultra light Fabric Reflux Tubes (UFRTs) were tested in a thermal vacuum chamber at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Johnson Space Center in September 1994. These test articles were design and fabricated by staff at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the United States...

Determination of a calculation bias in the MCNP model of the OSTR

Creator:: Kitto, Allyson K.
Abstract:: Oregon State University is home to a TRIGA® Mark II reactor. In October of 2008, the reactor began operating on low enriched uranium fuel. A model of the facility exists in MCNP, a Monte Carlo code that can be used for criticality calculations. Until now, a bias in the calculation...

Cost-Benefit Analysis : Proposed Safety Upgrades to Currently Operating Nuclear Power Plants

Creator:: Jordahl, Jonathan T.
Abstract:: In the wake of nuclear accidents such as Three Mile Island Unit 2 and Fukushima, the nuclear power industry’s safety record is scrutinized. Today the main concerns lies with hydrogen production in a nuclear reactor core when the zirconium fuel cladding reacts with the water coolant during an accident, creating...

Feasibility study on a soluble boron-free small modular reactor

Creator:: Mart, Justin R.
Abstract:: The elimination of soluble boron creates several advantages for Small Modular Reactor (SMR) operation. Most of these advantages are realized through significant core simplification (removal of pipes, pumping, and purification systems), the removal of the corrosive effects of soluble boron, and from improved safety effects. However, removing soluble boron creates...
