Nuclear corrosion science and engineering

Nuclear corrosion science and engineering / edited by Damien Féron.

Corrosion of nuclear materials, i.e. the interaction between these materials and their environments, is a major issue for plant safety as well as for operation and economic competitiveness. Understanding these corrosion mechanisms, the systems and materials they affect, and the methods to accurately...
