Design and construction rules for mechanical components of high-temperature, experimental and fusion nuclear installations: the RCC-MRx Code last edition

The very last edition of the RCC-MRx Code (Design and Construction Rules for Mechanical Components in high-temperature structures, experimental reactors and fusion reactors) was published end of 2018 by AFCEN, the French Association for the rules governing the Design, Construction and Operating Supe...
