Book Description
The motivations for low activation designs of fusion reactors fall into three categories: reactor maintenance, safety, and waste management and storage. Reducing activity levels to achieve contact maintenance of the blanket and plasma chamber of a fusion power reactor is probably not achievable. However, any reductions of induced activity will make maintenance easier in that it will reduce shielding requirements. Likewise, reductions in BHP (biological hazard potential) and the production of radioactive isotopes with long half lives can significantly impact safety and waste management. One approach to the activation issue is the use of ultra high purity SiC and aluminum alloys as structural materials. An alternative approach is the selection of alloys which are specifically tailored for reduced activity. A powerful advantage of the latter approach is that it is fully compatible with an established and proven design methodology.

Book Description
Operating at a high level of fuel efficiency, safety, proliferation-resistance, sustainability and cost, generation IV nuclear reactors promise enhanced features to an energy resource which is already seen as an outstanding source of reliable base load power. The performance and reliability of materials when subjected to the higher neutron doses and extremely corrosive higher temperature environments that will be found in generation IV nuclear reactors are essential areas of study, as key considerations for the successful development of generation IV reactors are suitable structural materials for both in-core and out-of-core applications. Structural Materials for Generation IV Nuclear Reactors explores the current state-of-the art in these areas. Part One reviews the materials, requirements and challenges in generation IV systems. Part Two presents the core materials with chapters on irradiation resistant austenitic steels, ODS/FM steels and refractory metals amongst others. Part Three looks at out-of-core materials. Structural Materials for Generation IV Nuclear Reactors is an essential reference text for professional scientists, engineers and postgraduate researchers involved in the development of generation IV nuclear reactors. Introduces the higher neutron doses and extremely corrosive higher temperature environments that will be found in generation IV nuclear reactors and implications for structural materials Contains chapters on the key core and out-of-core materials, from steels to advanced micro-laminates Written by an expert in that particular area
