Abstract:Driven by both the implications of the recent disaster in Fukushima as well as the coming maturity of fusion reactors in energy infrastructure, the nuclear industry is experiencing a renaissance not only in reactor design and fuel systems but also in safety. However, the combination of high temperature, high pressure, and radiation intensity of a reactor core poses a challenge to material selection for engineers, particularly related to nuclear cladding. For example, in a pressurized water reactor, the most pr… Show more
