The clamor for non-carbon dioxide emitting energy production has directly impacted on the development of nuclear energy. As new nuclear plants are built, plans and designs are continually being developed to manage the range of challenging requirement and problems that nuclear plants face especially when managing the greatly increased operating temperatures, irradiation doses and extended design life spans. "Materials for Nuclear Plants: From Safe Design to Residual Life Assessments "provides a comprehensive treatment of the structural materials for nuclear power plants with emphasis on...
