Issues related to materials reliability have become highly significant factors in plant operation, safety, and life extension. With the aging of the current LWR fleet, the management of materials degradation has become critical to economic viability. At the same time, the push to shorter outages, more severe thermal duty, and higher burnup has resulted in a need for a better understanding of limiting degradation phenomena. A number of recent very high profile materials degradation related incidents have only served to further focus these efforts.

Good overview of safety and materials issues in modern commercial nuclear power plants.

Astronuc,

Yes - and Professor Kazimi and Professor Todreas are excellent
instructors. I remember them well from my time at M.I.T.
