UNDERSTANDING CORROSION MECHANISMS, THE SYSTEMS AND MATERIALS THEY AFFECT, AND THE METHODS NECESSARY FOR ACCURATELY MEASURING THEIR INCIDENCE IS OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY FOR THE SAFE, ECONOMIC AND COMPETITIVE RUNNING OF ITS PLANTS. THIS BOOK REVIEWS THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NUCLEAR CORROSION, LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOTH AQUEOUS AND NON-AQUEOUS CORROSION MECHANISMS AND THE NUCLEAR MATERIALS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ATTACK FROM THEM, ALONG WITH APPLICABLE MONITORING AND CONTROL METHODOLOGIES AND MODELLING AND LIFETIME PREDICTION TOOLS. THIS BOOK ALSO EXPLORES CORROSION ISSUES ACROSS THE RANGE OF CURRENT AND NEXT-GENERATION NUCLEAR REACTORS AS WELL AS NUCLEAR FUEL AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITIES.
