Management of Ageing Processes in Graphite Reactor Cores

Many nuclear reactors and components are coming to the end of their 'useful' life and strategies for the effective management of these decommissioned parts are paramount. Management of Ageing Processes in Graphite Reactor Cores discusses in detail both the scientific challenges and the issues involved in this subject. Covering fundamentals of reactor design through to graphite-component behaviour and its assessment, the book also provides a discussion of the lessons learnt from decades of experience. Written by leading experts in the field, this is an ideal resource for both academia and industry, and is of great relevance to policy makers and governments.
