15th International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems - Water Reactors

This CD contains a collection of papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems. Organized by The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS), this conference was held on August 7-11 at Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

This meeting provided a highly beneficial forum for new insights into materials, methods, and techniques.

Topic areas include:* Primary- and secondary-side degradation of reactor components* Irradiation effects on mechanical properties* Irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking* Water chemistry issues and control* General and localized corrosion, stress corrosion, and corrosion fatigue* Remedial measures to prevent and mitigate problems* Materials degradation in spent fuel and radioactive waste disposal* Life management from the laboratory to the plant* Balance of plant environmental degradation problems* Corrosion associated with weldments
