EFFECT OF RADIATION ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CVTR PRESSURE TUBE MATERIALS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4071455
From American Nuclear Society Meeting, New York, Nov. 1963, Specimens of annealed Zircaloy-4 were irradiated in lowtemperature process water in WTR to equivalent integrated fast neutron fluxes up to 2.5 x 10/sup 21/ nvt. The radiation effects on the tensile, impact, and creep properties were studied. It is concluded that Zircaloy-4 will be adequate for use in CVTR pressure tubes. (D.L.C.)
