  A day in the life of the nuclear community
  The November issue of Nuclear News is focused on the individuals who make up our nuclear community.
  We invited a small group of those individuals to tell us about their day-to-day work in some of the many occupations and applications of nuclear science and technology, and they responded generously. They were ready to tell us about the part they play, together with colleagues and team members, in supplying clean energy, advancing technology, protecting safety and health, and exploring fundamental science.
  In these pages, we see a community that can celebrate both those workdays that record progress moving at a steady pace and the exceptional days when a goal is reached, a briefing is delivered, a contract goes through, a discovery is made, or an unforeseen challenge is overcome.
  The Nuclear News staff hopes that you enjoy meeting these members of our community—or maybe get reacquainted with friends—through their words and photos.

Light Water Reactor Materials, Volume I: Fundamentals

Light Water Reactor Materials, Volume I: Fundamentals

Arthur T. Motta, Donald R. Olander

Item ID: 350026|ISBN: 978-0-89448-461-2

1st Edition|866 pages

Description

Light Water Reactor Materials, Volume I: Fundamentals is a textbook that describes the fundamentals of nuclear materials behavior in light water reactors. Both the materials science and nuclear engineering topics needed to understand the behavior of materials in-reactor are covered. The first volume focuses on fundamentals, including thermodynamics, crystallography, diffusion, elasticity, dislocations, grain boundaries, nuclear heat production, phase transformations, mechanical behavior, radiation damage, microstructure evolution under irradiation, and aqueous corrosion, and a chapter on computational materials written by Brian Wirth. A forthcoming second volume (Applications) will focus on applying these principles to real-world problems.

An interview with author Arthur Motta was published in Nuclear News. The full interview is available here: http://cdn.ans.org/pubs/docs/motta_interview.pdf
