<br>Course Desc<x>ription
<br>Introduction on the structural materials and issues of Light Water Reactors. 
<br>Students without background about materials science are welcome since 
<br>fundamental knowledge of material and radiation damage in materials will be 
<br>introduced in the beginning. Then materials and related issue from reactor 
<br>core, pressure vessel, steam generator and cooling system will be discussed. 
<br>Finally, advanced nuclear power system will be covered. This is an informative 
<br>course to learn nuclear materials in Taiwan and it’s definitely helpful for 
<br>people who plan to work in this field about nuclear engineering.
