In-pile temperature dependence of the yield strength and growth of Zircaloy
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 int…
