Authors of the chapter: Stefan Ritter, Laure Martinelli, Damien Féron Partly adopted from S. Ritter (Ed.), “Nuclear Corrosion: Research, Progress and Challenges”, EFC Publications No. 69, Woodhead Publishing, UK, ISBN: 978-0-12-823719-9, 2020.
With the purpose of maintaining its economic competitiveness while keeping the very high safety standards, the nuclear industry works on how to improve and optimise the performance and durability of its facilities. Hereby, nuclear industry, more than any other, gathers complex corrosion conditions in the whole fuel cycle with a wide range of physico-chemical conditions and materials: various nuclear reactor types ( i.e. , different structural materials in high temperature water, heavy water, molten salts, liquid metals, hot gases, etc.), reprocessing...
