High resolution characterisation of corrosion and hydrogen pickup of Zr-Nb cladding alloys

Abstract:

Zr cladding alloys have been used for many years as the first safety barrier layer of a nuclear reactor. However, the recent Fukushima accidents and industrial demands to increase the burnup of fuels have led to increasing interest in a detailed mechanistic understanding of aqueous corrosion and hydrogen pickup and the performance at high temperatures.

As part of an international MUZIC-2 programme (Mechanistic Understanding of Zr Corrosion and Hydrogen pickup), I have used a range o...
