PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A ZIRCONIUM ALLOY SHEATH FOR THE FUEL OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL ELEMENT

摘要

Method for manufacturing a cladding tube of a zirconium alloy for the nuclear reactor fuel of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly by deformation of a starting tube and subsequent post-treatment of the deformed starting tube. The deformed starting tube is first ground on the outside surface for the post-treatment and is then subjected to a final annealing treatment.
