Crack growth in the through-thickness direction of hydrided thin-wall Zircaloy sheet
TL;DR: In this article, through-thickness crack propagation in hydrided Zircaloy-4 sheet was analyzed at 25°C, 300°C and 375°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation behavior of irradiated Zr-2. 5Nb pressure tube material
TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation behavior of irradiated highly textured Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube material in the temperature range of 30 °C to 300 °C was investigated to understand better the mechanism for the deterioration of the fracture toughness with neutron irradiation.

Cladding metallurgy and fracture behavior during reactivity-initiated accidents at high burnup
H.M. Chung,T.F. Kassner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a failure model that is based on temperature-sensitive tensile properties and fracture toughness was proposed to understand the complex failure behavior observed in tests in the SPERT, NSRR and CABRI reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of hydrogen embrittlement of Zircaloy-2 pressure tubes using unloading compliance and load normalization techniques for determining J–R curves
TL;DR: In this paper, fracture toughness of unirradiated cold pilgered pressure tubes (PT) has been studied as a function of temperature and hydrogen levels, and two methods of J-R curve evaluation, from small curved compact tension specimen, have been employed.
