Corrosion of zirconium alloys in nuclear power plants

Abstract

To improve our understanding of corrosion mechanisms under irradiation of zirconium alloys, to collect information systematically and to identify areas where further experimentation is needed, in 1989 the IAEA initiated a special project with the participation of expert from Canada, France, Japan, USA and the former USSR. This technical document is the result of two years of joint investigations. In view of the rapidly evolving mechanistic understanding of the phenomena in this field, the document presents a series of snapshots of current ideas in specific areas of study that are relevant to the whole problem. Any attempt to present an agreed upon micromechanistic hypothesis that explains the overall phenomena must await further detailed investigations. Throughout the text, the authors have endeavored to indicate critical gaps in our basic knowledge. It is hoped that this will stimulate experimental studies in just those areas where further data are most urgently required. Refs, figs and tabs.
