ZIRCONIUM ALLOY FOR USE IN AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENT SUBJECT TO HIGH FLUENCE, CORROSION-RESISTANT NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPONENT, STRUCTURAL NUCLEAR FUEL ASSEMBLY PARTS, AND NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL ROD CLADDING CONSISTING OF THE ALLOY
ZIRCONIUM ALLOY FOR USE IN AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENT SUBJECT TO HIGH FLUENCE, CORROSION-RESISTANT NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPONENT, STRUCTURAL NUCLEAR FUEL ASSEMBLY PARTS, AND NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL ROD CLADDING CONSISTING OF THE ALLOY
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide one alloy which can improve the resistances of the nuclear reactor fuel rod cladding, nuclear fuel assembly parts, and core member of a light water reactor to uniform accelerated node-like corrosion in the reactor without jeopardizing the maintainability of fuel rods and other structural members when irradiated to high fluence in the reactor. SOLUTION: An alloy which is subject to high fluence of a water-moderated reactor and consists essentially of 0.5-3.25 wt.% niobium and 0.3-1.8 wt.% tin, with the balance of the alloy being nuclear grade zirconium containing incidental impurities and having a microstructure of beta niobium second phase precipitates uniformly distributed in and among crystal grains.
