MIT professor develops method to verify compliance with Outer Space Treaty
Danagoulian
Areg Danagoulian of the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is proposing a mechanism for verifying that Earth-orbiting satellites are in compliance with the Outer Space Treaty, which prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons in space. Danagoulian’s “concept and feasibility study,” titled “Verification of the Outer Space Treaty with cosmic protons,” was published recently in the journal Nature.

In order to enhance the capability to perform realistic analyses of the core neutronic behavior and the plant system dynamics in respect of accidents with asymmetric core power such as main team line break (MSLB), a three-dimensional reactor kinetics model has been incorporated into a system thermal-hydraulic (T/H) code. In this study, we developed a PARCS core model for coupling with a TRACE 3D T/H model for the reactor vessel and performed a steady-state calculation prior to a MSLB accident for the Advanced Power Reactor-1400 plant.
