In the first in a series of FESI Publishing Monographs, Peter M Scott reflects on almost 50 years working on materials ageing and countermeasures in light water reactors (LWRs), first as a researcher with the UK Atomic Energy Authority, then later as a senior materials specialist with the French nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) vendor Framatome, and finally as an independent consultant.
