Mechanisms of oxidation of fuel cladding alloys revealed by high resolution APT, TEM and SIMS analysis
Aqueous corrosion of zirconium alloys has become the major factor limiting prolonged fuel campaigns in nuclear plant. Studies using SEM, TEM and electrochemical impedance measurements have been interpreted as showing a dense inner-most oxide layer, and an increased thickness of the layer has been co...
