CHEG 352 Materials in Nuclear Power Plants
The course covers materials (metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, and concrete) used in nuclear power plants. Topics covered include understanding material behavior and the effects of structure, properties, and processing of materials used in nuclear systems on their behavior in radiation environments. Emphasis is placed on the effect of radiation on the microstructure, mechanical, electrical, thermal, and corrosion properties of materials.
