Defects and Diffusion Phenomena in Materials for Nuclear Technologies

Download or read book Defects and Diffusion Phenomena in Materials for Nuclear Technologies written by Sergey Starikov and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defects and diffusion are key concepts at the description of nuclear materials behavior at thermal and radiation impacts. The evolution of various defects (such as point defects, dislocations, grain boundaries) determines changes of the materials properties under operating conditions. The present issue contains new and relevant data about the diffusion and defects in nuclear fuel (uranium alloys, oxide and nitride fuel) and structural materials (steel and non-ferrous metals). We hope that this special issue will be useful for researchers and engineers working in the field of material science and nuclear engineering. We wish to thank the authors for their contributions to this special issue and reviewers for their cooperation and efforts to prepare and evaluate the manuscripts.
