Summary about Iran Iran is the second-largest country in the middle-east with over 81 million inhabitants; Iran is the world’s18th most populous country. Tehran is the country’s capital and largest city, as well as its leading economic, cultural and financial center. Iran is officially an Islamic republic government. Iran’s economy is a mixture of central planning, state owner- ship of oil and other large enterprises, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures, while being the source of 10 percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and 15 percent of the world’s gas reserves; Iran is considered an “energy superpower,” and the economy is dominated by oil and gas production.

The country has the advantage of a broad domestic industrial base witch a highly tech-savvy, educated and motivated workforce, affordable la- bor and energy resources. Iran‘s geographical loca- tion makes the country an important economic hub in the region, providing it with access to 300 million people in neighboring countries. Iran has the con- sumer potential of Turkey, the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia, the natural gas reserves of Russia, and the mineral reserves of Australia. Iran‘s area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany combined. Iran has a diverse climate which makes it suitable for a wide range of agricul- tural products.

Telegram is currently the most popular social network platform in Iran with over 40 million active users. It is worth mentioning that just like on Instagram, we paid general channels with high sub- scribers to post our branded content on Telegram, for reaching a certain portion of our marketing goals. • LinkedIn is a rapidly growing social network in Iran. There are great opportunities and its professional, educated atmosphere is a great environment to be used for marketing goals, which is why marketing agencies in Iran always consider LinkedIn as part of their business strategy, which also includes getting in touch with other industry professionals or leads in a target segment. Bandwidth Regulations in Iran • Since October the 20th, all mobile phones require to be reg- istered with Iran’s telecommunications user database and phones not registered will be considered as “contraband” and unusable in the country. • In a move to expand access to the Internet, the Iran Com- munication Regulatory Authority introduced a mandatory landline Internet Fair Usage Policy. Through the newly introduced system Fair Internet Usage, each landline ISP is required to announce a bandwidth cap for different Internet speeds. A band- width cap is a limit imposed on the transfer of data over a network.

The last six months have exposed and magnified long standing inequities -- in our communities, in our hospitals, in our workplaces, and in schools. Too many of our school districts lack a fair share of resources to address the pandemic’s challenges; not every student can be taught remotely with attention to their need for social and emotional safe learning spaces. The current circumstances are poised to exacerbate existing disparities in academic opportunity and performance, particularly between white communities and communities of color.

  • Design Strategies for Optimizing High Burnup Fuel in Pressurized Water Reactors
    Design Strategies for Optimizing High Burnup Fuel in Pressurized Water Reactors by Zhiwen Xu B.E., Engineering Physics, Tsinghua University, P.R.China (1998) B.E., Computer Science, Tsinghua Univerisity, P.R.China (1998) Submitted to the Department of Nuclear Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY at the MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY January 2003 Copyright © 2003 Massachusetts Institute of Technology All rights reserved Signature of Author Department of Nuclear Engineering January 10, 2003 Certified by Michael J. Driscoll (thesis supervisor) Professor Emeritus of Nuclear Engineering Mujid S. Kazimi (thesis supervisor) TEPCO Professor of Nuclear Engineering Accepted by Jeffrey A. Coderre Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Students Design Strategies for Optimizing High Burnup Fuel in Pressurized Water Reactors by Zhiwen Xu Submitted to the Department of Nuclear Engineering on January 23, 2003, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract This work is focused on the strategy for utilizing high-burnup fuel in pressurized water reactors (PWR) with special emphasis on the full array of neutronic considerations. The historical increase in batch-averaged discharge fuel burnup, from ~30 MWd/kg in the 1970s to ~50 MWd/kg today, was achieved mainly by increasing the reload fuel enrich- ment to allow longer fuel cycles: from an average of 12 months to about 18 months. This also reduced operating costs by improving the plant capacity factor. Recently, because of limited spent fuel storage capacity, increased core power output and the search for in- creased proliferation resistance, achieving burnup in the 70 to 100 MWd/kg range has attracted considerable attention.
