Zirconium in the nuclear industry

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5501594
This book contains papers from the 9th International Symposium on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry. Zirconium alloys, especially Zircaloy-2, Zircaloy-4, and Zr-2.5Nb, have been the main materials used in the core of nuclear power plants. Because of the recent trends in the nuclear industry towards higher fuel discharge burnups for better fuel utilization, and higher heat ratings and coolant temperatures for better thermal efficiency, interest in zirconium alloys has increased. It follows that corrosion-a topic of concern-has high coverage in this book. Other topics discussed are mechanical properties of zirconium alloys, and alloy fabrication.
