OUTLINE OF PWR ALTERNATE CONTROL MATERIAL INFORMATION OBTAINED AT BETTIS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4303463
Physical properties of the Ag--15 In--5 Cd alloy are listed. Tests after neutron irradiation indicate that the alloy has neutron absorption characteristics that equal hafnium and excell Ag--30 Cd. Corrosion of the alloy in high-temperature water, oxygenated, hydrogenated, and degassed, is studied. A comparison of hafnium and Ag-15 In--5 Cd is made. Dimensional changes in Cu--B/ sub 4/C after irradiation are shown. (See also WAPD-PWRPMM-1207.) (W.D.M.)
