Completely revised coverage of nuclear materials from crystal structure to reactor applications Now in its Second Edition, An Introduction to Nuclear Materials is completely revised and expanded with new chapters on phase diagrams of nuclear materials and accident tolerant fuels. Written by K. Linga Murty and Indrajit Charit, two leading nuclear engineering professors, this classroom-tested textbook systematically builds from fundamental crystal structures through dislocation theory to radiation damage and radiation effects in reactor components. An Introduction to Nuclear Materials covers reactor system designs, materials applications across fuel rod assemblies, steam generators, and piping. Structure-property correlations are established throughout. Materials selection and life prediction methodologies address creep, corrosion, and other degradation mechanisms. Advanced topics include materials for space nuclear reactors and fusion reactors. An appendix compiles materials property data for reactor applications. Readers will also find: New chapters on phase diagrams of nuclear materials and accident tolerant fuels added to this completely revised Second EditionChapter summaries, recommended further reading, and end-of-chapter problems designed to reinforce and solidify acquired knowledgeSystematic progression from fundamental crystal structures to dislocation theory, radiation damage, and radiation effects in reactor materialsMaterials selection and life prediction methodologies for nuclear reactors addressing creep, corrosion, and other degradation mechanismsCoverage of advanced topics including materials for space nuclear reactors, fusion reactors, and compiled property data appendixAn Introduction to Nuclear Materials serves graduate and undergraduate students in nuclear engineering, nuclear physicists, and engineers in power technology who require a materials science perspective on reactor design. Its classroom-tested approach and structure-property emphasis make it a reliable reference for both academic study and professional practice in the nuclear industry.

Covering both fundamental and advanced aspects in an accessible way, this textbook begins with an overview of nuclear reactor systems, helping readers to familiarize themselves with the varied designs. Then the readers are introduced to different possibilities for materials applications in the various sections of nuclear energy systems. Materials selection and life prediction methodologies for nuclear reactors are also presented in relation to creep, corrosion and other degradation mechanisms. An appendix compiles useful property data relevant for nuclear reactor applications.

Throughout the book, there is a thorough coverage of various materials science principles, such as physical and mechanical metallurgy, defects and diffusion and radiation effects on materials, with serious efforts made to establish structure-property correlations wherever possible. With its emphasis on the latest developments and outstanding problems in the field, this is both a valuable introduction and a ready reference for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
