Advanced Nuclear Fuels and Materials

Advanced Nuclear Fuels and Materials, 1st Edition, provides an academic reference detailing nuclear fuel compositions, cladding options, and core material performance for modern nuclear engineering applications. Published by Elsevier in 2025, this text establishes technical foundational knowledge for senior undergraduates, graduate students, professional researchers, and practicing engineers working in nuclear energy systems.

The volume structures its analysis around primary fuel types and specific reactor operating environments. It examines oxide fuels, metal and alloy fuels, carbide fuels, nitride fuels, composite fuels, and targeted transmutation materials. Coverage also extends to system-specific fuel requirements for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, molten salt reactors, and supercritical water reactor designs.

Spanning 522 pages in hardback print format, the work delivers structured technical analysis for institutional collections and advanced university coursework. The text provides grounded reference material for academic modules focused on advanced fuel forms, structural performance, and next-generation reactor design.
