Abstract:A series of experiments has been performed to obtain information on the behavior of zircaloy fuel cladding tube, indispensable for predicting fuel performance in water reactors.The results obtained are arranged under the following headings: (1) Hydride behavior: The effects of stress on non-uniform precipitation, thermal diffusion of hydrogen in zircaloy containing hydrogen beyond terminal solid solubil· ity, and directionality changes by thermal cycling and stress (2) Deformation behavior: Plastic deformation… Show more
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.
