Catalog description

This course explores the use of materials in nuclear engineering applications. Topics include an overview of basic nuclear plant operations, atomic bonding, crystalline and non-crystalline structures, diffusion, phase diagrams, mechanical and thermal behavior, failure analysis and prevention, structural materials, ceramics, corrosion, radiation effects on materials, and material challenges associated with reactor core operation. Additionally, the course examines materials commonly used in reactor core and nuclear plant design. Students gain an understanding of the properties and behaviors of materials critical to nuclear engineering, equipping them to address material-related issues in reactor design and operation.
