S>Studies are being made of the orientation of zirconium hydride platelets in thin-walled Zircaloy tubing. Results from stress orientation tests at 18,000 and 30,000 psi confirmed previously reported results at lower stress levels that indicated that the susceptibility to stress orientation of the hydride platelets varied widely between tubing frorn different fabrication processes. These tests completed the stress orientation tests on circumferential specimens with 50 ppm hydrogen. (M.C.G.)
