Basic Studies in the Field of High-temperature Engineering Second Information Exchange Meeting: Paris, France 10-12 October 2001

In response to increasing interest in high-temperature, gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) in many countries and the need for improved materials for nuclear applications in high-temperature environments, the NEA organised a Second Information Exchange Meeting on Basic Studies in the Field of High-temperatu...
