DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5348264· OSTI ID:5348264
The effects of fast flux (E greater than or equal to 1 MeV) neutrons on zirconium and dilute zirconium alloys are discussed. The effects on the elastic constants, strength and ductility, creep, fatigue and fracture, and irradiation growth are reviewed. (FS)
