Abstract
The development of a web-accessible materials handbook
in support of the materials selection and structural design for
the Generation IV nuclear reactors is being planned.
Background of the reactor program is briefly introduced.
Evolution of materials handbooks for nuclear reactors over
years is reviewed in light of the trends brought forth by the
rapid advancement in information technologies. The
framework, major features, contents, and construction
considerations of the web-accessible Gen IV Materials
Handbook are discussed. Potential further developments and
applications of the handbook are also elucidated.
