An understanding of materials science<\/a> is essential for power plant personnel to understand why material was selected for certain applications within their facility. Almost all processes that take place in nuclear facilities involve the use of specialized metals. A basic understanding of material science is necessary for nuclear facility operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff to operate and maintain the facility and facility support systems safely. Our goal here will be to briefly describe the basic materials considerations<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0nuclear reactors<\/a>. The knowledge of thermophysical and nuclear properties of materials is essential for designing nuclear power plants.<\/p>\nMaterials for Nuclear Reactors<\/h2>\n
