Abstract

To facilitate materials selection, structural design, and future maintenance of the Generation IV nuclear reactor systems, an interactive, internet accessible materials property database, dubbed Gen IV Materials Handbook, has been under development with the support of the United States Department of Energy. The Handbook will provide an authoritative source of information on structural materials neededfor the development of various Gen IV nuclear reactor systems along with powerful data analysis and management tools. In this paper the background, history, framework, major features, contents, and development strategy of the Gen IV Materials Handbook are discussed. Current development status andfuture plans are also elucidated.
