STRUCTURAL MATERIALS FOR GENERATION IV NUCLEAR ...

Operating at a high level of fuel efficiency  safety  proliferation-resistance  sustainability
and cost  generation IV nuclear reactors promise enhanced features to an energy resource which
is already seen as an outstanding source of reliable base load power. The performance and
reliability of materials when subjected to the higher neutron doses and extremely corrosive
higher temperature environments that will be found in generation IV nuclear reactors are
essential areas of study  as key considerations for the successful development of generation IV
reactors are suitable structural materials for both in-core and out-of-core applications.
Structural Materials for Generation IV Nuclear Reactors explores the current state-of-the art
in these areas.Part One reviews the materials  requirements and challenges in generation IV
systems. Part Two presents the core materials with chapters on irradiation resistant austenitic
steels  ODS FM steels and refractory metals amongst others. Part Three looks at out-of-core
materials. Structural Materials for Generation IV Nuclear Reactors is an essential reference
text for professional scientists  engineers and postgraduate researchers involved in the
development of generation IV nuclear reactors.
