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...
