Material science in nuclear application is an integral part of nuclear engineering since any design or structure is only as good as the material it is build out of. Therefore, a thorough understanding of basic material science is required just as for any engineering field. Dr. Peter Hosemann, of the University of California Berkeley, will present an initial overview of the function of material scientists in engineering, as well as an introduction of what radiation does to materials.
