Uniform and “Nodule” Corrosion of Zirconium Alloys under Service Conditions

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Results concerning uniform and nodule (local) corrosion obtained in SF NIKIÉT are reviewed. The applicability of the electrotechnical theory of high-temperature oxidation of metals to zirconium alloys is analyzed. The conditions of occurrence of nodule corrosion are determined, and the results of a study of process channels and fuel assemblies of RBMK reactors after service at nuclear power plants (NPP) are generalized.
