ZIRCALOY-4, URANIUM DIOXIDE, AND MATERIALS FORMED BY THEIR INTERACTION A LITERATURE REVIEW WITH EXTRAPOLATION OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES TO HIGH TEMPERATURES

摘要

The physical properties of U02, ZrO, UO2-ZrO solid solutions, ZrO2-x , and Zircaloy-4 have been reviewed. Recommended and extrapolated values of these physical properties are given. The properties covered in this report are, transition temperatures, heat capacities, heat con¬tents, vapor pressures, thermal conductivities and thermal expansion. The temperature ranges and materials covered were geared for use in the analysis of a loss-of-coolant reactor accident.
