Computational design of materials for nuclear reactors
Abstract
Computational design for fission reactor materials is ready to accelerate the development and qualification of nuclear materials. This review is primarily aimed at computational materials scientists that seek to apply ICME to the development of fission reactor materials. We summarize reactor materials and technology, discuss reactor material development and qualification today, show how ICME is being applied to the unique requirements of reactor materials, and provide a future vision.
