Nickel alloys are more resistant to SCC as well as high temperatures and have been widely used in more challenging environments such as nuclear power plants. However, these alloys can suffer SCC under certain conditions, resulting in component failure. A key figure in understanding the mechanisms of SCC in nickel alloys in water-cooled nuclear reactors is Henri Coriou of the CEA, France’s leading center for nuclear research. This book assesses his work in the context of the latest research on SCC in nickel alloys in nuclear power plants.
- Up-to-date reviews of recent research findings from leading experts in the field
- Authoritative and comprehensively reviewed by the Working Party 4 on Nuclear Corrosion
- Showcases the excellent quality and technical accomplishments of Henri Coriou and CEA
Nuclear metallurgists, materials scientists and engineers, nuclear facility operators and regulators, consultants, researchers and academics working in this field.

Damien Féron has been Director of Research at CEA (French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission) since 2007 and Professor at INSTN (The French School for Energy and Health Technology, University Paris-Saclay) since 2010. He has been working in the corrosion field for more than 40 years. He chaired the Working Party on Nuclear Corrosion (2003-2016) of the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) and the Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC). He has been President of the EFC (2017-18) and the WCO (World Corrosion Organization) which is a non-governmental organization recognized by the United Nations (2019-2022). He has published more than 70 scientific papers and is editor or co-editor of 22 books or special issues in journals, mainly in the field of microbial corrosion, seawater corrosion and nuclear corrosion. During his career, he has received several national and international honors, including appointment as an Honorary Fellow from both NACE (USA) and the EFC, and the Lee Hsun Lecture Award in China. He was also nominated for the “Chevalier dans l’ordre des Palmes Académiques” (French National Honor) in 2017.
