EFFECT OF NEUTRON IRRADIATION ON THE ROOM TEMPERATURE TENSILE PROPERTIES OF ZIRCALOY-3

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4299498
S>Zircaloy-3 tensile specimens removed from 25% cold-rolled and annealed plate in both the longitudinal and transverse directions were irradiated at the MTR at temperatures of 115 F and to integrated fast neutron fluxes ranging from 1,2 x 10/sup 20/ nvt to 3.4 x 10/sup 20/ nvt. There were indications that saturation of radiation damage may have been reached, although more experimental work is needed to verify this effect. The uniform elongations were reduced by 77 and 100% in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively. (auth)
