5th FORUM ON NEW MATERIALS PART B

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This one of five volumes documenting the Forum presents 17 papers from the symposium of the title. They cover low activation structural materials for nuclear fusion systems; functional cladding, and fuel materials for nuclear fission reactors; and radiator effects. Among specific topics are tungsten as a structural divertor material, from high to low enriched uranium fuel in research reactors, and geometrical aspects of dislocation-obstacle interaction in iron. Included here are also nine papers from the focused session on materials technology for nuclear waste treatment and disposal; among them are new actinidex waste forms with pyrochlore and garnet structures, and using the vitrification test rig for process improvements on the waste vitrification plants.
