TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental results of 24 uniaxial in-reactor creep tests on various zirconium alloys, covering a range of stresses from 7 to 42 kg/mm2 and temperatures between 200 and 400 °C.

TL;DR: In this article, a zirconium single crystal was irradiated at 473-523 K and its growth measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at various fluences by TEM, and an explanation for the measured growth was given in terms of defects that are too small to be seen in the electron microscope, i.e. point defects or very small defect clusters.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fast neutron flux at 570 K on the creep rate of specimens of zirconium-2.5 wt% niobium alloy taken from tubes in various metallurgical conditions, using both constant load tensile creep machines and bent-beam stress relaxation.

TL;DR: In this article, a single crystal of crystal bar Zr was irradiated, unstressed, at 570 K in a fast (> 1 MeV) neutron flux of 5.5 × 10 16 n/m 2 -s.

TL;DR: In this paper, the creep at 573 and 723 K of quenched and aged Zr-2.5 wt% Nb alloy was studied as a function of (i) solution temperature in the range 1073 to 1273 K, (ii) oxygen concentration of 170 to 1150 ppm, and (iii) aging at 673 or 773 K.
