Effect of neutron and ion irradiation on the metal matrix and oxide corrosion layer on Zr-1.0Nb cladding alloys

Abstract:

A detailed study has been carried out on recrystallised Zr-1.0Nb alloys corroded and irradiated under different conditions, including ex-autoclave and ex-reactor samples. After 540 days in reactor and damage around 5 dpa, the neutron irradiated sample shows no serious evidence for radiation enhanced corrosion and is still in pre-transition stage. The good corrosion resistance of the neutron irradiated Zr-1.0Nb can be related to the higher volume fraction of tetragonal phase and fewer intercon...
