The desire to improve the corrosion resistance of Zr cladding material for high burn-up has resulted in a general trend among fuel manufacturers to develop alloys with reduced levels of Sn. While commonly accepted, the reason for the improved corrosion performance observed for low-tin zirconium alloys in high-temperature aqueous environments remains unclear. High-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction...
Aqueous corrosion and hydrogenation have become major limiting factors to the use of zirconium alloys as fuel cladding and assembly components in water-cooled nuclear reactors. The metal–oxide interface has been a particular focus of previous research, but there is still no clear understanding of what is present at the interface at different stages of the complex oxidation process. We report here...
