Proposed fusion and advanced (Generation IV) fission energy systems require high-
performance materials capable of satisfactory operation up to neutron damage levels …

All materials can suffer from environmental degradation; the rate and extent of degradation
depend on the details of the material composition and structure as well as the environment …

This book explains physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation
aspects, and performance criteria of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS). For each kind …

This review summarizes a variety of beam damage phenomena relating to oxides in
(scanning) transmission electron microscopes, and underlines the shortcomings of currently …

Indentation, owing to its ability to induce permanent deformation in a controlled manner
even in highly brittle materials that are otherwise not amenable to critical mechanical testing …

This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the state-of-knowledge of radiation
effects in crystalline ceramics that may be used for the immobilization of high-level nuclear …

Molecular dynamics and related atomistic computer simulations are effective ways in
studying the structures and structure–property relations of glass materials. However …

Chemical durability is not a single material property that can be uniquely measured. Instead,
it is the response to a host of coupled material and environmental processes whose rates …

Glassy wasteforms currently being used for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) as well as for
low-and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) immobilization are discussed and their …

Radioactive waste vitrification has been carried out industrially in several countries for
nearly 40 years. Research into the formulation and long term behavior of high and …
