Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH0151948
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Cladding tubes for containing nuclear fuel material utilizing zirconium base alloys containing from 0.1 to 0.6 weight per cent tin; from 0.07 to 0.24 weight per cent iron; about 0.05 to 0.15 weight per cent chromium; and up to 0.05 weight per cent nickel. The balance of the alloy is zirconium with incidental impurities. The levels of the incidental impurity, oxygen, is controlled to a level of less than 350 ppm. These alloys have been designed to minimize the adverse effects of pellet-clad interaction, when they are used as a liner bonded to the inside surface of water reactor nuclear fuel cladding.
