International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study estimates the economic and social benefits of micro modular reactor (MMR) technology development by quantifying public willingness to pay (WTP) for a national MMR R&D program in South Korea. Annual household WTP was elicited using a double‐bounded dichotomous choice (DBDC) format and an additional “at least KRW 1” question to accommodate a ...

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.A numerical framework leveraging finite element analysis is established to examine the thermomechanical behavior and burst safety of a novel accident‐tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding design. This design incorporates a thin niobium (Nb) liner positioned between two layers of silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites (SiC‐CMC).

“Economizing” TEPCO’s Responsibility for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident
Nuclear Technology, 2021 The purpose of this paper is to show that the responsibility of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO) was "economized" in the wake of the accident. It is argued that responsibility for the nuclear accident was mainly linked to economic responsibility, and that social and moral responsibility were consequently obscured by the financial ...
