Covering both fundamental and advanced aspects in an accessible
way, this textbook begins with an overview of nuclear reactor
systems, helping readers to familiarize themselves with the varied
designs. Then the readers are introduced to different possibilities
for materials applications in the various sections of nuclear
energy systems. Materials selection and life prediction
methodologies for nuclear reactors are also presented in relation
to creep, corrosion and other degradation mechanisms. An appendix
compiles useful property data relevant for nuclear reactor
applications.
Throughout the book, there is a thorough coverage of various
materials science principles, such as physical and mechanical
metallurgy, defects and diffusion and radiation effects on
materials, with serious efforts made to establish
structure-property correlations wherever possible. With its
emphasis on the latest developments and outstanding problems in the
field, this is both a valuable introduction and a ready reference
for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
