The main outcomes of RILEM TC-226-CNM are summarized in this book. Key input was provided by
researchers from countries that are main contributors in the R&D design construction
operation and regulation of waste nuclear reinforced concrete facilities. Nuclear power plants
and many of the facilities and structures used for the management of radioactive waste
materials generated by the fuel cycle use concrete in their construction. RILEM TC 226 CNM
covered several areas including functional and performance requirements for concrete structures
degradation processes phenomenological modelling field experiences tests approaches
instrumentation and monitoring methods dedicated to performance assessments service-life
models aging Management of Nuclear Power Plants repair techniques codes and standards
specific to radioactive waste facilities.
