Title: Aluminum Corrosion and Turbidity

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/810370· OSTI ID:810370

Aluminum corrosion and turbidity formation in reactors correlate with fuel sheath temperature. To further substantiate this correlation, discharged fuel elements from R-3, P-2 and K-2 cycles were examined for extent of corrosion and evidence of breaking off of the oxide film. This report discusses this study.
