Chockie, L J

The irradiation performance of a prototype creep capsule, capable of making continuous measurements of the creep of an annealed Zircaloy-2 specimen, was found to be satisfactory. Annealed specimens of Zircaloy-2 exhibited in- and ex-reactor creep rates of 1.69 x 10/sup -6/ ( combination rat 0.52 x 10/sup -6/ and 1.5 x 10/sup -7/ ( combination rat 0.1 x 10/sup -7/) in./in./hr, respectively, at 500 tained F and at a stress of 30,000 psi.
