(2012-11-02)A new interfacial code was developed to couple the reactor physics code PARCS/AGREE to the systems level code MELCOR, with a goal of enabling state- of-art transient event analysis for high temperature gas reactor designs. ...
-
(2021-04-26)The original molten salt reactor (MSR) concepts were developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the 1960s. Increasing energy demands and concerns about global CO2 emissions have emphasized the need for advanced ...

(2021-06-16)Remote education capabilities make up an important component of an institution’s services. A challenge in improving remote education capabilities has been developing experiments for remote laboratory education that mimic ...
-
(2021-05-03)Used nuclear fuel disposition is a major nuclear waste management problem worldwide at the closing end of the nuclear fuel cycle since long-lived actinides can cause safety and criticality concerns. Effective separation ...
-
(2016-02-18)The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) safeguards technical objective is the timely detection of a diversion of a significant quantity of nuclear material from peaceful activities to the manufacture of nuclear ...
