Survey of End Capping Methods for Zircaloy-2-Clad Uranium Fuel Elements

Description: From Abstract: "A literature survey was made of both welding and brazing methods that might be used to minimize the amount of exposed core material and provide the longest path for corrosion in the event of a defective weld in enextruded Zircaloy-2-clad uranium and uranium-2 w/o zirconium fuel elements."

Design and Fabrication of Pellet Fuel Rods Clad With Thin Wall Stainless Steel

Description: Summary: Stainless steel clad nuclear fuel cycle costs can be reduced to those associated with Zircaloy clad fuel or potentially lower by reducing the thickness of the clad tube wall until performance penalties offset the savings associated with the reduction in parasitic neutron absorption. To demonstrate the feasibility and investigate performance capabilities of thin clad fuel rods for power reactor application an assembly was fabricated with 0.0127 cm (5 mil) thick stainless steel cladding … more

Reactions of Metals With Oxygen and Steam

Description: "Titanium, zirconium, and Zircaloy can spontaneously ignite under relatively mild conditions. The effect of temperature, oxygen concentration and pressure, and the nature of the diluent on the spontaneous ignition of titanium, zirconium, and Zircaloy were investigated."
