Use of neutron beams for materials research relevant to the nuclear energy sector

Presents a compilation of the main results and findings of an IAEA coordinated research project (CRP) on development, characterization and testing of materials of relevance to nuclear energy sector using neutron beams. The document contains joint research results from nineteen institutions, which can be grouped into six technical areas.
