In 2017 the EFC's Working Party(WP) on Nuclear Corrosion marked its 50th anniversary with a workshop comprising invited talks from renowned experts covering almost the entire range of nuclear corrosion topics. As a result of these workshop contributions, Nuclear Corrosion Research: Current state-of-the-art is being published as part of the Green Book? series of the EFC. This book will build upon the foundations of the very first book published in this series in 1989 (Number 1 - Corrosion in the nuclear industry?). Since that publication, this WP has guided and supported the research and application of results in the broad field of nuclear corrosion. This newest volume consists of an overview of the state-of-the-art of research in some of the most important areas of nuclear corrosion. The chapters covered include ageing phenomena in light water reactors, reprocessing plants, as well as in nuclear waste disposal, supercritical water and liquid metal systems. This book will be a vital resource for both researchers and engineers working within the nuclear field in both academic and industrial environments. Discusses industry related aspects of materials in nuclear power generation and how these materials deal with the environmentProvides comprehensive coverage of the topic, written by noted experts in the fieldIncludes coverage of nuclear waste corrosion INDICE: 1.
