Completely updated and enhanced, this two-volume work reflects the development and progress made in nuclear materials over the 15 years since the first edition. Covered here for the first time: coatedparticle fuels for hightemperature gascooled reactors; modeling of fuels and materials behavior; nuclear waste materials and materials for fusion reactor; application of steel data from fast reactors to the lifecycle extension of existing lightwater reactor power plants. This forms an essential part of the outstanding electronic reference "Materials Science and Technology".
