Optimizing materials for nuclear applications

Abstract

This book presents the papers given at a symposium on materials for fission and fusion reactors. Topics considered at the symposium included liquid metal corrosion, wear-resistant alloys, Zircaloy-2 calandria tubes, the control of microstructure in fuel cans, martensitic stainless steels, austenitic steels, the swelling behavior of stainless steel-316, radiation embrittlement, the aging of iridium and plutonium dioxide, alloying effects on ferritic steels, and void nucleation.
