Description

The general behaviour of materials in reactor cores are presented (irradiation defects, swelling, hardening, nuclear reaction). Nuclear fuels (U, Pu, Th), moderators (D2O, graphite, Be), structure materials (Al, Mg, Zr, steels), fuel elements, pressure vessels and shielding are studied in turn

Abstract (French)

On presente dans ce livre le comportement general des materiaux dans le coeur des reacteurs nucleaires (defaut d'irradiation, gonflement, durcissement, reactions nucleaires). On etudie successivement les combustibles (U, Pu, Th), les moderateurs (eau lourde, graphite, beryllium), les materiaux de structure (aluminium, magnesium, zirconium, aciers), les elements combustibles des differentes filieres, les enceintes de pression et les protections
