Materials for future nuclear energy systems must operate under more extreme conditions
than those in current Gen II or Gen III systems. These conditions include higher temperature …

Compared to austenitic stainless steels, largely employed in the early fission reactors, high
chromium Ferritic/Martenstic (FM) steels, developed since the first half of the 20th century for …

Materials capable of sustaining high radiation doses at a high temperature are required for
next-generation fission and future fusion energy. To date, however, even the most promising …

Demonstrating the production of net electricity and operating with a closed fuel-cycle remain
unarguably the crucial steps towards the exploitation of fusion power. These are the aims of …

Reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)
steels are the most promising candidates for fusion first-wall/blanket (FW/B) structures. The …

By mixing elements with favourable nuclear activation properties to create high-entropy
alloys, it may be possible to create a material that can withstand a nuclear fusion …

The intricate balance between reactor economics and safety necessitates the emergence of
new and advanced nuclear systems and, very importantly, advanced materials, which can …

This review considers current Zr alloys and opportunities for advanced zirconium alloys to
meet the demands of a structural material in fusion reactors. Zr based materials in the …

Mechanically alloyed Fe-based alloys with oxide dispersion strengthening have largely
dropped out of the marketplace due to high cost related to problems with complex and …

Nuclear energy is a low-carbon, safe, efficient, and sustainable clean energy. The new
generation of nuclear energy systems operate in harsher environments under higher …
