Advanced Nuclear Fuels and Materials

Advanced Nuclear Fuels and Materials covers different fuel types such as oxide fuels,metal and alloy fuels, carbide fuels, nitride fuels, composite fuels, and transmutationtargets. Other fuels discussed include those used in advanced reactor systems, includinghigh temperature gas cooled reactor fuels, molten salt reactor fuels, sodium cooled fastreactor fuels, lead cooled fast reactor fuels, gas cooled fast reactor fuels, and supercriticalwater reactor fuels.Additional sections focus on materials used in nuclear reactors, including structuralalloys, control rod materials, and graphite. The numerical simulation of advancednuclear fuels, and the frontier of nuclear fuels, including new accident tolerant fuelsand nano materials used in advanced nuclear energy systems are also elaborated.The comprehensive coverage provided by the book makes it an ideal reference forsenior undergraduates and graduate students and professional researchers/engineersengaged in nuclear energy, nuclear fuel, or material science.
