An Engineers Guide to Nuclear Reactor Core MaterialsAuthor(s): Malcolm Griffiths\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780443301049, 978-0443301049\nSynopsis\nAn Engineers Guide to Nuclear Reactor Core Materials presents everything a reactor engineer needs to know to work on reactor core structural materials and core internals. This book outlines the impact of radiation damage on materials and provides the necessary tools to perform calculations of atomic displacement and transmutation, especially He and H gas production, with the aid of software available in the public domain. \n\nAn Engineers Guide to Nuclear Reactor Core Materials includes an explanation of metallurgical properties of reactor components that are dependent on microstructure and alloying elements. The effect of fabrication (and then irradiation) on the microstructure; and modelling of radiation effects and the methods for the determin.
