On the melting of zirconium alloys from scraps using electron beam and induction furnaces – recycling process viability

The pressurized water reactor (PWR) employs UO2 pellets as nuclear fuel, which are packed in zirconium alloy tubes called nuclear fuel cladding. In the manufacture of the nuclear fuel, machining scraps are generated which are not easily discarded as scraps because of its high cost. These zirconium n...
