Product Description:

The book is designed to function both as a text for

first-year graduate courses in nuclear materials and as a

reference for workers involved in the materials design and

performance aspects of nuclear reactors for electric power

production. It is based on lectures in graduate courses in

the Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of

California, Berkeley, University students in nuclear engi-

neering come from a variety of undergraduate disciplines,

but, by and large, their background in the fundamental

physics and on which much of the applied work

treated in the book is based is sketchy. For this reason the

first 8 chapters are devoted to reviews of selected aspects of

s t a tistical thermodynamics, crystallography y, chemical

thermodynamics, and physical metallurgy. The remaining

13 chapters constitute the application of these principles to

the problems encountered in nuclear fuel elements. Chap-

ters 9 to 16 deal with the properties and irradiation

behavior of oxide fuels. Chapters 17 to 20 treat similar

problems in the cladding. Chapter 21 incorporates the

analyses of materials behavior presented in the earlier

chapters into calculations of the performance of the entire

fuel element.
