In hypothetical accidental conditions, zirconium-based nuclear fuel claddings can absorb high hydrogen contents (up to several thousand wppm) and be exposed to high temperatures (β Zr phase temperature range) before being cooled. This paper thoroughly investigates the microstructural and microchemical evolutions that take place in such
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
