Status Report on Structural Materials for Advanced Nuclear Systems [E-Book] / Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Materials performance is critical to the safe and economic operation of any nuclear system. As the international community pursues the development of Generation IV reactor concepts and accelerator driven transmutation systems, it will be increasingly necessary to develop advanced materials capable o...
