Description

Advanced Nuclear Fuels and Materials covers different fuel types such as oxide fuels,
metal and alloy fuels, carbide fuels, nitride fuels, composite fuels, and transmutation
targets. Other fuels discussed include those used in advanced reactor systems, including
high temperature gas cooled reactor fuels, molten salt reactor fuels, sodium cooled fast
reactor fuels, lead cooled fast reactor fuels, gas cooled fast reactor fuels, and supercritical
water reactor fuels.
Additional sections focus on materials used in nuclear reactors, including structural
alloys, control rod materials, and graphite. The numerical simulation of advanced
nuclear fuels, and the frontier of nuclear fuels, including new accident tolerant fuels
and nano materials used in advanced nuclear energy systems are also elaborated.
The comprehensive coverage provided by the book makes it an ideal reference for
senior undergraduates and graduate students and professional researchers/engineers
engaged in nuclear energy, nuclear fuel, or material science.
