Nuclear power plants differ from fossil power plants mainly
in the source of heat for converting water into steam, which is subsequently
used to run the turbine and produce electricity. In addition, the source of
heat is nuclear fission (or fusion, in future fusion reactors), while in the
latter, it is the combustion of the fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or gas.
Therefore, the structural materials chosen for nuclear reactors should also
meet the requirements of fossil power plants in terms of good creep resistance,
oxidation resistance, low-cycle fatigue strength, and thermal conductivity.
Moreover, the elements present in the structural materials should also have a
low neutron absorption cross-section, that is the probability of neutrons
produced in the reactor being absorbed by these elements should be low.
Furthermore, the properties of these materials should not degrade under the
high levels of radiation that exist in nuclear reactors. Such degradation is
generally referred to as radiation damage and includes irradiation
embrittlement, irradiation creep, and swelling, helium embrittlement. In
addition, nuclear power provides almost 15 %of the world’s electricity and
according to the U.S. Energy Information and administration, as of December 31,
2020, 94 nuclear reactors were operating at 56 nuclear power plants in 28
states. 32 of the plants have 2 reactors, and 3 plants have three reactors.
Nuclear power plants have supplied about 20% of total annual U.S. electricity
since 1990.

The rise in demand for low-cost energy, reliable, zero
carbon emissions, and high energy density energy across the world led to an
increase in the demand for nuclear energy. In addition, the increase in demand
for electricity was caused in part by the increase in population, and economic
development also led to increasing in the demand for nuclear power plants and
equipment.
The growth in demand for low-carbon-emission energy and
long-life power plants led to an increase in demand for nuclear power plants,
and the fast expansion of nuclear power plants created a number of
opportunities for nuclear power plant equipment.
