A model for waterside oxidation of zircaloy fuel cladding in pressurized water reactors

Creator:

Almarshad, Abdullah I. A.

Abstract:

A model has been developed to predict the long-term oxidation rate of Zircaloy-4 for ex-reactor (autoclave) and in-reactor (PWR) environments and operating conditions. A computer program has been written to solve the oxygen diffusion equation by employing a fully implicit finite difference method for a one dimensional cylindrical geometry. The...

Fracture energies of Zircaloy and some zirconium alloys

Creator:

Rawers, James C.

Abstract:

The fracture mechanics of Charpy V-notch specimens of Zircaloy-4 and phosphorus contaminated Zircaloy-4 were investigated. Three-point bend and impact tests with Charpy V-notch samples provided an efficient and economical method of fracture evaluation. Fracture failure was monitored by the force-displacement curve. Failure was initially analyzed using fracture toughness values as...
