Contribution of materials investigation to the resolution of problems encountered in pressurized water reactors

These 2 volumes gather the papers presented at the international symposium Fontevraud 5 that took place in the royal abbey of Fontevraud from 23 to 27 september 2002. The 105 contributions have been parted into 9 topics: 1) corrosion in primary water environment, 2) reactor pressure vessel, 3) reactor pressure vessel internals, 4) fuel, control rod assembly, 5) secondary circuits, condenser, 6) turbine, alternator, 7) PWR and VVER pressure vessels: different materials and methods, 8) piping, and 9) steam generators
