ADVANCED TECHNIQUES FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF HYDRIDED ZIRCONIUM ALLOY
Zirconium alloy pressure tubes are an important component in CANDU nuclear reactors. During operation these tubes can pick up hydrogen as a result of a corrosion reaction, which can eventually lead to the precipitation of a secondary, brittle zirconium hydride phase. Hydrides tend to first form at...
