Materials in a nuclear environment are exposed to extreme
conditions of radiation, temperature and/or corrosion, and in many
cases the combination of these makes the material behavior very
different from conventional materials. This is evident for the four
major technological challenges the nuclear technology domain is
facing currently: (i) long-term operation of existing Generation II
nuclear power plants, (ii) the design of the next generation
reactors (Generation IV), (iii) the construction of the ITER fusion
reactor in Cadarache (France), (iv) and the intermediate and final
disposal of nuclear waste. In order to address these challenges,
engineers and designers need to know the properties of a wide
variety of materials under these conditions and to understand the
underlying processes affecting changes in their behavior, in order
to assess their performance and to determine the limits of
operation. Comprehensive Nuclear Materials, Second Edition, Seven
Volume Set provides broad ranging, validated summaries of all the
major topics in the field of nuclear material research for fission
as well as fusion reactor systems. Attention is given to the
fundamental scientific aspects of nuclear materials: fuel and
structural materials for fission reactors, waste materials, and
materials for fusion reactors. The articles are written at a level
that allows undergraduate students to understand the material,
while providing active researchers with a ready reference resource
of information. Most of the chapters from the first Edition have
been revised and updated and a significant number of new topics are
covered in completely new material. During the ten years between
the two editions, the challenge for applications of nuclear
materials has been significantly impacted by world events, public
awareness, and technological innovation. Materials play a key role
as enablers of new technologies, and we trust that this new edition
of Comprehensive Nuclear Materials has captured the key recent
developments.
