The Proceedings of the TAGSI–FESI Symposium held on April 9–10, 2013. The symposium was dedicated to the late Professor Sir Alan Cottrell FRS FREng. Nuclear structural integrity was one of the many areas where Sir Alan had a very important guiding influence which resulted in the UK achieving safe operation of nuclear plant over the last 40 to 50 years. By reflecting upon the past and looking to the future, this book contains messages that are relevant across the whole field of engineering structural integrity.

Professor J F Knott, OBE FREng FRS is Chairman of TAGSI, the advisory body of both industrial and academic experts, which provides independent advice and peer review to the UK nuclear industry on structural integrity issues.

Dr Brian Tomkins, FREng is Chairman of FESI (UK Forum for Engineering Structural Integrity) which provides a forum for the development and enhancement of best practice for structural integrity practitioners, for academics, and across the industry sector in the UK and overseas.
