Title: Advanced Corrosion-Resistant Zr Alloys for High Burnup and Generation IV Applications

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/895014· OSTI ID:895014

The objective of this collaboration between four institutions in the US and Korea is to demonstrate a technical basis for the improvement of the corrosion resistance of zirconium-based alloys in more extreme operating environments (such as those present in severe fuel duty,cycles (high burnup, boiling, aggressive chemistry) andto investigate the feasibility (from the point of view of corrosion rate) of using advanced zirconium-based alloys in a supercritical water environment.
