Nuclear Corrosion: Research, Progress and Challenges, part of the "Green Book" series of the EFC, builds upon the foundations of the very first book published in this series in 1989 ("Number 1 - Corrosion in the Nuclear Industry"). This newest volume provides an overview on state-of-the-art research in some of the most important areas of nuclear corrosion. Chapters covered include aging phenomena in light water reactors, reprocessing plants, nuclear waste disposal, and supercritical water and liquid metal systems. This book will be a vital resource for both researchers and engineers working within the nuclear field in both academic and industrial environments.

Corrosion remains one of the key issues affecting the performance and availability of nuclear power plants. Therefore, reliable in-plant corrosion monitoring methods are essential both for the future operation of existing plants and to ensure the safety of future nuclear waste disposal systems. In two parts, this book was stimulated by a workshop organised by EFC Working Party 4 on Nuclear Corrosion and the European Cooperative Group on Corrosion Monitoring of Nuclear Materials (EGC-COMON). The first part deals mainly with research into the detection of stress corrosion crack initiation in nuclear power plant environments (essentially high temperature water at 300 ) by various methods, particularly the electrochemical noise technique but also including the electrochemical impedance, acoustic emission and direct current potential drop methods. The second part addresses the goal to develop in-situ techniques and includes examples of the application of electrochemical corrosion potential monitoring. This book will be of particular interest to scientists and engineers concerned with the mitigation of corrosion in nuclear power plants and the long-term storage of radioactive waste.

Mit Hilfe dieses Buchs erarbeiten Sie grundlegende mathematische Begriffe und Rechentechniken, die Sie in den ersten Semestern des Ingenieurstudiums fur Vorlesungen zu Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik und weiteren Anwendungsvorlesungen benoetigen. Bereits zu Beginn des Studiums wird erwartet, dass Sie mathematische Zusammenhange kennen, Rechenverfahren beherrschen und diese in teilweise recht komplexen Situationen sicher anwenden koennen. Der sichere Umgang mit Mathematik ist der Schlussel zum Verstandnis technischer und logischer Zusammenhange im eigentlichen Ingenieurfach. Das Buch eignet sich zum vorlesungsbegleitenden Selbstlernen und Nachschlagen. Neben vielen vollstandig durchgerechneten mathematischen Beispielen enthalt es zahlreiche Anwendungen aus der Technik. Hier werden die vorgestellten mathematischen Methoden in typischen Anwendungsfallen Ihres Fachs eingesetzt. Aufgaben mit vollstandig durchgerechneten Loesungen bieten ausreichend Material zum UEben und zur Kontrolle des Lernfortschritts. Dr. Stefan Ritter ist Professor fur Mathematik an der Hochschule Karlsruhe und unterrichtet Ingenieure der Informationstechnik. Dr. Ursula Voss ist Professorin fur Angewandte Mathematik an der Hochschule fur Technik Stuttgart und unterrichtet Ingenieure verschiedener Fachrichtungen in Mathematik.
