A new way to quantify climate change impacts: “Outdoor days”

A new measure of rising temperatures, called “outdoor days,” describes the number of days per year that outdoor temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for people to go about normal outdoor activities, whether work or leisure, in reasonable comfort.

Lessons from Fukushima: Prepare for the unlikely

A new study maps how the Fukushima Dai’ichi nuclear accident unfolded, and points to the importance of mitigation measures and last lines of defense. Here, International Atomic Energy Agency experts visit Fukushima Dai’ichi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 4 in 2013.

Future nuclear power reactors could rely on molten salts — but what about...

MIT Energy Initiative

Postdoc Weiyue Zhou (left) and Associate Professor Michael Short attach a novel test chamber containing a metal sample and salt to the end of a proton accelerator. Experiments to date show that proton irradiation decreases the rate of corrosion in certain metal alloys — potentially good news for designers of promising nuclear power reactors that rely on molten salts, which tend to be highly corrosive.

Optimizing nuclear fuels for next-generation reactors

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

“I told myself I was going to find myself in a career that allows me to develop energy technologies that can easily be scaled to meet the energy needs of the world, including my own country,” says Assistant Professor Ericmoore Jossou.

Making the clean energy transition work for everyone

The Energy Conference featured a keynote discussion between MIT President Sally Kornbluth and MIT’s Kyocera Professor of Ceramics Yet-Ming Chiang, in which Kornbluth discussed her first year at MIT as well as a recently announced, campus-wide effort to solve critical climate problems known as the Climate Project at MIT.

Cutting carbon emissions on the US power grid

MIT Energy Initiative

An online model developed by an MIT Energy Initiative team enables other researchers and operators of U.S. regional grids to explore possible pathways to decarbonization. Case studies of the nine regional power grids shown here confirm the importance of designing a strategy based on the resources and electricity demand profiles of specific regions.

Diving into nuclear submarines

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

Nuclear Technology for Marine Propulsion, a three-week course by the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, covered a broad range of topics, including the basics of nuclear reactor theory and design, operations and safety, training, the operation of nuclear shipyards, and more.

The science and art of complex systems

MIT senior and physics major Gosha Geogdzhayev works to develop “emulator” models that can learn from large-scale global climate models to answer more specialized questions about the impacts of climate change.
