Effect of Aging and Irradiation on the Corrosion of Zr-2.5 Wt% Nb
TLDR
In the absence of radiation the corrosion of quenched, cold worked and aged Zr-2.5 Wt% Nb in 280 C (536 F) pressurized water decreases with increasing aging time and temperature.Abstract:

Phase Stability Under Irradiation
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of experimentals observations of irradiation-altered phase stability is presented, including enhanced nucleation on displacement cascades, precipitation induced by solute segregation to defect sinks, nucleation of wrong phases, disordering and amorphization, Frenkel pair recombination driven precipitate, and inverse Ostwald ripening.

Oxidation of Zirconium and its Alloys
TL;DR: The oxidation behavior of zirconium and its alloys in both gaseous and aqueous environments is summarized, and how other environments, such as liquid metals, can be considered as special cases of one or other of the main classes is shown.

Effect of composition and heat treatment on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of ZrNb alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of Nb content and heat treatment on the structure and isothermal corrosion behavior of ZrNb alloys at 300, 360 and 400°C in static heavy water and steam (1500 psi) was presented.
