As new nuclear plants are built, plans and designs are continually being developed to manage the range of challenging requirement and problems that nuclear plants face especially when managing the greatly increased operating temperatures, irradiation doses and extended design life spans. \u003ci\u003eMaterials for Nuclear Plants: From Safe Design to Residual Life Assessments \u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive treatment of the structural materials for nuclear power plants with emphasis on advanced design concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaterials for Nuclear Plants: From Safe Design to Residual Life Assessments\u003c\/i\u003e approaches structural materials with a systemic approach. Important components and materials currently in use as well as those which can be considered in future designs are detailed, whilst the damage mechanisms responsible for plant ageing are discussed and explained. Methodologies for materials characterization, materials modeling and advanced materials testing will be described including design code considerations and non-destructive evaluation concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding models for simple system dynamic problems and knowledge of current nuclear power plants in operation, \u003ci\u003eMaterials for Nuclear Plants: From Safe Design to Residual Life Assessments\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for students studying postgraduate courses in Nuclear Engineering. Designers on courses for code development, such as ASME or ISO and nuclear authorities will also find this a useful reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447158172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-2915-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 482\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45990763167884,"sku":"9781447158172","price":278.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447158172.jpg?v=1779579939","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447158172","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
