دانلود کتاب Materials' ageing and degradation in light water reactors: Mechanisms and management

The main reasons for downtime of light water reactors (LWRs) currently operating are materials-related issues primarily due to material aging and degradation. Degradation of materials is caused by the very aggressive environments to which LWR structures are exposed to, including high neuron fluences, high temperatures along with aggressive environmental factors, such as water and steam.A major objective of this book is to bring forth issues confronting the nuclear industry in terms of materials aging and degrading with particular emphasis on mechanisms and management. It is a compilation of chapters written by experts in the field and is divided into three parts: Fundamental aging issues and degradation mechanisms, Materials aging and degradation in particular light water reactor components, and Materials management strategies for light water reactors.
