Nuclear Reactor 440 - New Radiation Resistant Alloys For Use In Nuclear Reactors
One of the key technical challenges of constructing a nuclear reactor is the choice of metal used to construct the core and to form the cladding on the fuel rods. The metal used in the reactor are subjected to high temperatures, high pressures and intense bombardment by radiation. When a neutron penetrates the metal in the core, it can displace an atom in the crystalline lattice.
