PRODUCTION OF ZIRCALOY-2 TUBING FOR THE PWR BLANKET

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4295373
The development work required to overcome the difficulties encountered in extrusion, tube reduction, drawing, annealing, etc., in the production of small diameter Zircaloy-2 seamless tubing in large quantities for the Shippingport Pressurized Water Reactor is described. The seamless technology based on extruded tube shells, tube reducing, and drawing was the primary effort and eventually became the method used for production. (W.D.M.)
