Fifty-nine peer-reviewed papers provide the latest international research on nuclear materials.

Although the primary focus is on pressure vessel steels, including mechanical properties and microstructures, it contains papers on the latest research on fundamentals of radiation effects in materials as well as on stainless steels and nonferrous alloys. It has a truly international flavor containing twenty-six papers from outside the United States.
