CONTROL OF HYDRIDE ORIENTATION IN ZIRCALOY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4727468

Experiments were conducted to find the cause of adverse hydride orientation in the Zy-2 cladding of failed irradiated UO/sub 2/ fuel tubes. It was shown that oriented hydride platelets were produced in Zy-2 by the application of stress during hydride precipitation and by deformation prior to hydride precipitation. (auth)
