Other books in this series

The latest in this popular series provides 44 peer-reviewed papers on the latest international research covering all aspects of zirconium alloy properties and performance relevant to the nuclear industry.

Topics address:

• All aspects of the fuel cycle

• Basic metallurgy

• Spent fuel

• Corrosion

• Mechanical properties

• Deformations mechanisms

• Failure mechanisms

• LOCA and Transients.

These papers provide examples of studies where experimental techniques are combined with analytical tools and calculations; reflect a stronger trend towards efforts that enable fundamental in-reactor measurements, which are essential for further development of experimental techniques as well as for the possibility to enhance the development of improved alloys; and examine an increasing number of alternative alloys being developed and verified.
