Description

A previously reported growth model is modified and low temperature growth predictions in Zircaloy are made to support the proposal that the smaller irradiation damage observed at lower temperature results from the damage sites, or depleted zones, being larger at lower temperatures. This proposal holds that the vacancies making up the zones cannot migrate at the lower temperature and, therefore, cannot condense into small voids or dislocation loops. The larger zones serve as better sinks for interstitials because they have a larger capture radius and, since they contain the same number of vacancies as the smaller, higher temperature zones, they … continued below

Description

A previously reported growth model is modified and low temperature growth predictions in Zircaloy are made to support the proposal that the smaller irradiation damage observed at lower temperature results from the damage sites, or depleted zones, being larger at lower temperatures. This proposal holds that the vacancies making up the zones cannot migrate at the lower temperature and, therefore, cannot condense into small voids or dislocation loops. The larger zones serve as better sinks for interstitials because they have a larger capture radius and, since they contain the same number of vacancies as the smaller, higher temperature zones, they heal faster resulting in less total damage. The resulting theoretical predictions are compared with experimental data and found to be in good agreement.
