Purpose of lecture
This is the only lecture concerning materials issues, including nuclear fuels and incore materials, of nuclear fission and fusion reactors. The basis is materials science. The topics including are: manufacturing methods of nuclear fuels, structures of fuels and fuel elements, moderators, control materials, blanket materials, and structual materials. Another emphasis is put on fundamentals of radiation damage and irradiation effects of nuclear reactor materials.
