- Title
Materials for energy: From fission towards fusion.
- Authors
Möslang, Anton; Wiss, Thierry
- Abstract
The article analyzes the emerging trend in the development of nuclear reactors using materials that can handle very high energy and particle fluxes. A recent symposium on nuclear materials dealt with ways of predicting the behavior of material when subjected to high irradiation, causes of damage to metals and storage of spent fuel. It concludes that the development of next generation nuclear reactors requires a synergy between experimental data and simulations based on a multi scale approach.
